[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your future DIL will be so pleased.[/quote]

Well, my 13 year old son already knows how to do his own laundry, keep his room and bathroom clean, and pick up after himself. He doesn’t leave his stuff lying around waiting for someone else to pick it up. He knows how to do household chores and the basics of cooking even though he isn’t forced to weekly. So yeah, I actually think she will be pleased. [/quote]

I think it's great that your kids can take of his own stuff. I also think it's important that he know what goes into the whole running of the household and appreciate it. Not necessarily forced or weekly but in general. And if he's the kind of kid that will help out when you ask them you're fine. I helped my mom vacuum and clean bathrooms but it wasn't a scheduled force thing. I just did it when she asked or decided we all needed to do household things for an hour (not all the time and no schedule or reward). But I also set the table and helped wash dishes as part of dinner since she cooked and dad did the big clean up. We are doing the same with our kids. Some kids won't contribute unless it's scheduled and rewarded. [/quote]
