Rotating Chores Between Your Children

Share a chore fairly by rotating it between your children.

1

Chores & Allowance Bot can automatically rotate a chore between your children. Rotating chores are a Premium feature.

To rotate a chore, create a new chore with the “New Chore” button on the Assign screen, or tap the pencil next to an existing chore and then “Edit”.

2

Tap “Assignees”, then “Select Assignees”, and check the children you want to share the chore. You need at least two assignees to rotate a chore.

The chore rotates through the children in the order they are listed. To change the order, hold your finger on a child and drag them up or down. The first child in the list starts the rotation.

3

Tap “Schedule” and select “Rotate between assignees”.

Choose a start date. The app starts with today. The first child in the rotation does the chore on the start date.

If you have several rotating chores, it’s easiest to give them all the same start date and put a different child first in each one, so the chores are shared evenly.

With a Daily schedule, the first child does the chore on the first day, the next child on the second day, and so on. The chart at the top shows who does it each day.

4

With a Weekly schedule, select the days of the week the chore is done. Then use “Rotate each” to choose whether the chore moves to the next child on the first day of each week, or on each day it’s scheduled.

Monthly schedules work the same way, with the days of the month.

Tap “Save”.

On the Assign screen, tap the three dots on the left side of a chore to see more about it, like who it rotates between.
