It's very, very hard, in my experience, to get kids or adults to do chores involving things they don't care about. I am the only one on this household who cares about the indoor plants; therefore, I am the only one who waters them. R and I are the only ones who care about the yard; therefore, we are the only ones who do any work out there (including watering potted plants).
OTOH, there is not a plant on this property (indoor or outdoor) that needs watering twice in one day. If yours truly do need twice-daily watering, you might think about bigger pots, peat moss on the soil surface, something like that. My outdoor ones are mainly in large pots, and they sure don't get watered even every day. Often they don't get watered till they start drooping; they always perk up.
