[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, how old are your kids?  In my house, the kids - all three of them - are expected:

1.  make their own beds and keep their rooms clean
2.  the two girls share a bathroom.  They are to clean it. 
3.  empty the cat's litter box
4.  load and empty the dishwasher
5.  everyone pitches in cleaning the common areas
6.  DS - 12 helps DH with yard work, mechanical and electrical stuff.

The kids are limited to one activity each the save on the driving.  Older kids can take public transit for after school activities or ride their bikes.  [/quote]

The kids in my house are expected to make their beds (I typically strip the beds and wash their sheets twice a week), take their clothes to the hamper (I wash the clothes daily, sometimes twice a day), set the table and pour the drinks, rinse their dishes, remember their schedules and pack each day accordingly, devote themselves to their studies, rehearsals and practices, and babysit when asked, among other things.  They rake leaves in the fall, plant a garden in the spring, and pull weeds all summer.  Two of them can walk to school when necessary.  The schools of the other three, as well as most of their activities are not particularly close to one another, their schools, or home.  I do not limit their interests or participation in those things they enjoy, thus the numerous activities for five children.  We do not live near a metro, so unfortunately the driving still falls on me.  DD just got her driver's license last week, but we do not have an additional car for her to drive.[/quote]
