    I use http://mychoreninja.com with my kids. It makes my life easier and they enjoy getting their chores on a computer.

    Cleaning the room, mopping the floor, and putting laundry in the laundry basket is child labor? Did you grow up having no chores to do?

    Instead of putting the treats under the mess, put them where the mess is supposed to go. If you have clothes lying around that need to go into the laundry basket, put the treat in the laundry basket, not under the dirty clothes.
