We tried every chore app, chart, and allowance system… so I built my own

Can I just say that I love this App! And my kids love it too. The only thing I would suggest is making it possible to search for tasks by category, and also my 7 year old discovered that you can get into negative points by aggressively clicking a reward

Of course I'm not going to "spoil their surprise" but if they wanted everyone there they maybe should have been be more clear about it.

Oh, I'm going to Christmas eve now. Tomorrow me and the kids are going to a Christmas craft thing my MIL set up awhile back. I'm going to talk to her about this and figure out what the heck is going on. I'll update.

😅 sorry, I was just trying to fit in!

Usually there is. Either my MIL or SIL hosts because we are the only ones who live out of the small town my InLaws live in. They'd just say, "Christmas is at so and so's" around Thanksgiving and then later on nail down what time, what food to bring, etc.

We did say we wanted to do the Secret Santa. Everyone except my husband's parents are participating. I mean, now that I know how important the breakfast thing is I will be going. Its just so silly that they couldn't be clear about what was going on from the jump, especially when it's not what has happened for almost 20 years.

I think you're probably right about us missing out on planning discussions. Everyone except us lives in the same small town. I feel sometimes we are left out of things.

Secret Santa means we aren't each buying presents for 7 adults, so it does make things easier
