[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I never did chores growing up as we grew up in another country with cooks, gardners, chauffeur, maids. We never even filled  a glass of water for ourselves because there was always someone at our beck and call. We have managed very well here and both DH and I have a well run household.  Yes, we are not bringing out the expensive china to eat our meals, and our tables are not laid out beautifully now because we have to do it ourselves and so we forego it.  But we have a clean beautiful house and we are fabulous cooks.  My kids do not do chores but they are watching and learning.  I do not think it is a negative for them. They have started to help out during the pandemic and I will probably start teaching them cooking a dish each week going forward.

If you are raised in  a household which is clean and organized, if you eat wonderful, hot meals; if you sleep in beds with clean crisp sheets; if you saw lot of socializing in your home and lots of dinner parties - you will want the same and you will create the same household for your kids.
