[quote=Anonymous]Or since you are home (have a house cleaner), do most of the inside work yourself?  I.e. empty dish washer, load dishwasher every day, do laundry loads, do any additional sweeping/ vacuuming, etc.?

Our house- Outside work, take out the garbage, unload groceries, etc. -  I have the kids help out; They’re suppose to take care/feed/walk the dog, pick up sticks, leaves, occasionally  weed (barely).  My two kids are responsible for their rooms and shared bathroom (gross).  DD does her own laundry, DS will have to start doing his own clothes now that he is going into middle school.  I personally hate cleaning up after the kitchen, loading/unloading the dish washer.  I have the kids unload the dishwasher every now and then, dust on occasion. I’m more concerned they know how to do these things for when they grow up and have their own place.  I do bulk of the workload because I’m a SAHM; their  homework, tests, schoolwork is their main job.   I want to add on to their chore lists, make a formal list of chores but I  feel guilty because I’m home.

Moms of older elementary, tween, teen moms what chores do you give and does your husband help out at all? Does he believe, help enforce the kids to do their chores?[/quote]
