[quote=Anonymous]My kids are older now 13-20 but here are a few things we have always done.
Most meals include uncooked veggies. My kids will eat almost any veggie raw so I never bothered to cook them. The one exception is a steam broccoli for a few minutes in the microwave.  Frozen peas are also served frozen.

Dishes are stored in a cabinet that is counter height. The kids are in charge of setting the table and emptying the dishwasher (since they were 5) 
Every person in the house has responsibilities to the house and family.  
Kids do their own laundry starting at 8. Everyone knows how to switch the loads. Wool socks and bras with underwires do not go in the dryer.  Yes my 8 year old boys knew this. They also knew not to leave laundry with baskets with clean clothes down in the basement because sprickets like clean warm clothes!

Run the dishwasher every night

No travel sports

Cook extra and freeze enough for another meal.

When I make meatballs I make enough for 10 meals. 5 Italian,  5 Swedish 
Why do all of those dishes more once!
