[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sons and daughters are required to do chores around the house. There are no “boy” chores or “girl” chores. There is no upper body strength required to push a lawnmower. Your kid is just being lazy.[/quote] +1, but it was OP's mistake to make chores gendered early on. Mowing the grass isn't a boy chore, it's a chore. The child isn't "having it both ways" by not doing certain chores. So OP needs to fix his own thinking, first. And, acknowledge to his son that it was a mistake to make certain things optional -- a mistake he's now fixing household-wide. I suggest each child in the house should do his own laundry, help with cooking and dishes on set nights of the week, and a handful of other chores such as trash and yard care and pet care. My house had all female children and we managed a fair chore chart.[/quote]
