[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD’s friend’s parents won’t let the 10 yr old kid play unless chores are done. They have made their kid miss so many chances to play. It makes me so sad for the kid. These were outside playdates during the few wintertime daylight hours. I understand that children need to have responsibility, but they are children and folding laundry can wait. A huge part of responsibility is balancing chores and fun. [/quote] We weren't allowed to play unless our chores were done. That seems a totally reasonable rule for a 10-year-old, assuming the chores themselves are appropriate and sufficient time was budgeted. [/quote]
