Hey I am looking for some cool ideas on running a smooth family life and running it like a business. I have 6 kids (10yrs old and younger) and I have been giving them chores and paying them accordingly. Of course we have fun time and all that but I try to each day spend some time cleaning and organizing and I even give them fun things to do like cook dinner etc.

1 week it worked well and I appointed my son to be the Butler. My oldest daughter was the head maid.

I write up little job reports and make sure they understand how well they did or why they didn't do so well.

I hold a daily family meeting to go over things. Lately I have been also calling them in one at a time to my office and we have some alone time so I can hear what they have to say without the other siblings in ear shot. I now pay them in private where before it was done in a group.

So... I wanted to see how creative I could be, with your help, to come up with more ideas, and structuring.

So what other things could I do??
