[quote=Anonymous]My older two kids are just 15 (last week) and 12. - Neither shaves. - They are ok at laundry with instructions; their younger sibling can do it alone. (long story) - Both have experience cleaning the house. 15 does things better than 12. Both are better when I ask for one thing rather than help cleaning the entire house. My 15 year old can clean a bathroom like nobody's business! - Both can clean their rooms well, buy things in a store, pick up the dry cleaning while I live park, etc. We haven't pushed much yard work, but they know how to help and will do it when asked. The leaf blower is a big favorite. -- 12 is an excellent baker and cooks reasonable things like nachos, mac and cheese. Hasn't tried many main courses, but knows how to follow a recipe and it is something I"m encouraging. 15 tries to make 12 or 10 cook for him! But he can do pasta, eggs, grilled cheese and anything in the microwave. [/quote]
