Cis woman here - when I lived in a group house with 3 men we rotated the chores. One person had vacuuming and dusting; one person had lawn and gardening; one person had kitchen etc. Now my husband does cooking, loads the dishwasher and changes diapers. I do ask him to get things down for me if I don’t feel like getting the step stool but otherwise we do the same things. For your child, what about a stack of index cards with chores written on them - he picks 5.

During the week we all had chores in the house (set the table, clean up after dinner, empty dishwasher, clean bathrooms, vaccuum etc) and on weekends we all had outside chores (cut lawn, weed garden, shovel snow, house repairs, clean cars etc). We rotated who did what.

There is no such thing as boy or girl chores unless you make them that way yourself due to your own entrenched gender stereotypes.

+1. I'm female and I washed cars, mowed the lawn, shoveled, etc. And I had no notable upper body strength to speak of either!
