[quote=Anonymous]Never had "chores" but my parents were pretty neglectful. I was a bit like Matilda - learned to cook and do my own laundry by 3rd grade. If I wanted or needed something I had to make that happen. Eventually found my way through college and grad school fully funded. Then found a great husband, got a high paying job, and had 2 kids. My kids don't do chores, but I ensure they are responsible for their own laundry, hygiene (including room cleaning) and the older ones do all their own shopping. I'm not neglectful and I discuss with them why I parent the way I do. In the end the neglect served me well. I know I can learn anything on my own and I don't believe people when they say something is difficult. I rarely find a problem I can't solve.[/quote]
