[quote=Anonymous]I do a little bit of both.

First, they do their own laundry and I don’t care how they fold or put away their clothes. They’ve gotten better on their own with time.

For something like the dishes—I talk to them more about getting it right “hey, if you put them in the dishwasher this way they won’t get clean” (oh sorry is usually their response). And that has also gotten better as they’ve gotten older. Hey, you can’t just hang your coat on the knob, come hang it on a hanger. Don’t leave your shoes on the stairs, put them in the bench.

To be honest, sometimes I think I should get them to be more exact, but they are so stinking busy with a full day of school; after school activities or sports then home work, that I really think that if I harp on them for every detail then they will be stretched super thin and things will fall apart. I’m admittedly a adhd/type B mom myself so I have never been perfect when it comes to chores either, though im a lot better than when I was a teen—it took me a long time to learn how to do things right. But I got there. [/quote]
