Getting your family onboard

Household chores can be a contentious issue. Most systems (and chore apps) are authoritarian, so they come with hurt feelings baked in.

It's fair if your family feels burnt out. Unless the approach is different, you're just putting the same problems into new packaging.

Chantico is different, becaues its approach is different. No more nagging. No more hated chores. No more arguing about who is doing more work.

Here is some wording that might help start the conversation.

We are a family. None of us are servants. The home is our shared responsibility.

Chores have to get done, but we get to choose how. If we plan everything out, someone has to be the cop. If we use Chantico, no one has nag and we'll all have more choice.

The biggest issue with chores is not the chores themselves. The issue is how it makes your family feel.

Authoritarian systems are usually fair and organized, but they also dehumanize you, and make chores into an obligation.

Chantico is special because it has respect baked in. You are a team, investing in your team.
