[quote=Anonymous]A friend and I this evening were discussing our 14yos and chores. She claims that she’s just happy her kid does the chore, even if they do it incorrectly. She says they are learning responsibility and she can always go back and fix things to her liking (her example was putting things like measuring cups and plastic ware back in an unorganized way, vs neatly.) My stance is they should do it over themselves if it’s not correct—when they have a job, which household chores are for now—they will have to do their job in a certain way that meets expectations. So in my house, they would be coming back and nesting the measuring cups so they don’t run all over when the cabinet is opened. Thoughts? Am I too hard? Is she too soft? Is there a middle ground?[/quote]
