[quote=Anonymous]I have never done a household chore because my mom did everything for me. I am still learning to get meal cooked and house organized after 11 years of marriage because I had to figure out everything by myself after I got married. My mom never taught me how to dress up, how to make up, what to do etc. , and she said all I needed to do was to get good grades. My 10 year old son does not need to do any chore, and so does my 7 year old daughter. Is there anything that they could do at their current ages and any guidance on chore choices by ages till age 18 to learn self care and be independent. I already outsouce some by putting both at cub scout/girl scout, camping, and sleepaway camps. It was shameful to find out that my son could not even fold a towel because I am like my mom doing everything for them. They may need motivation or incentive to do chores. [/quote]
