[quote=Anonymous]We had some basic chores. Setting the table, cleaning up after dinner, mowing the lawn, taking care of family pets. Don’t really wish I had more and I know we gave my parents a really hard time about it!! But we both learned a lot on our own, when we had to. And I think more than daily responsibilities what helped us learn was how visible my parents work on the house was. They were always doing yard work and house work on the weekends so we were around to watch, even if we were playing nearby, I think it imprinted on us that adults take care of their home. So I think it may be tougher these days when people are spending more hours at work and thus more gets outsourced, and you begin to think it’s something someone else does. [/quote]
