[quote=Anonymous]Our kids do just basic stuff, dishwasher, pick up after themselves, one likes to do laundry, they sometimes cook. We have cleaning help so the deep cleaning is taken care of. I used to feel guilty about not having them into strict chore obligations but then I realized that what makes me a clean and organized person weren’t the chores I did as a kid but the cleaning standards I grew up with and have maintained as a grown up, sometimes with help, sometimes without. So I refuse to let my children live in dirty rooms (I have heard lots of parents saying that its on them if they don’t clean their rooms) because they could start to naturalize that state of things as acceptable. When my children grow up I hope they’d know how a clean home feels and hopefully will want to live in clean places, either if they clean themselves or hire help.[/quote]
