I'm not sure if this is at all doable but i stumbled across kidschores looking for a solution to a "fairness" problem we're having my home. It seems like a great app, but I'm wondering if it could help us. I have installed it, but it seems to count chore points globally and not per chore?
Here's my situation: It's agreed that P1 and P2 will take turns with certain chores, for example doing the dishes. However, P2 has valid reasons for skipping the dishes SOME nights, but has been using that to their advantage and taking advantage of P1. P1 is doing the dishes more than P2, and starting to not due them due to feeling taken advantage of.
The 2 scenarios I'm looking to address:
1.) Skipped turn: It's necessary that sometimes one person will skip a day or two and the other will pick up the slack. i.e P1 does the dishes 3 nights in a row. P1 now has a dishes score of 3, and P2 has a dishes score of 0. P2 should now do the dishes 3 nights in a row until they both have a dish score of 3 and then go back to taking turns. This is really the core issue I'm trying to solve, but i'm not sure if kidschores can track this?
2.) Skipped nights: P1 may do the dishes on Monday night. NOBODY does the dishes on Tuesday night. P1 does the dishes on Wednesday night, P1 just did 2 nights of dishes since a night was skipped, P1 should get double points for doing double the dishes. I know manual points adjustments are possible, but some automation in this could go a long way.
EDIT: After digging around some more i found out there is a sensor for each kid/chore called approvals that seems to be a numeric counter each time a chore is approved per person. I think this will mostly help with problem #1, Problem #2 can be worked around for now by approving the chore twice.
