[quote=Anonymous]My 10 yo son doesn’t have regular, set chores, but I might ask him to feed the dog, take the trash out, clean the bathroom (mostly wiping surfaces and emptying the trash), unload the dishwasher, putting laundry in the dryer and folding it (I don’t trust him to check pockets so he doesn’t start the laundry), help in the yard, as needed. He probably spends maximum 3 hours a week helping around the house during the summer. He’s fully responsible for picking up after himself- putting his dirty clothes in the hamper, wiping his toothpaste out of the sink, putting his dirty dishes in the dishwasher, etc, but I don’t really consider picking up after himself chores. During the school year he does less, especially if he’s playing a sport. It helps me out and I hope it teaches him how to do some of these things so he doesn’t think the house getting clean is some magic thing that just happens. [/quote]
