[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have not done any chores but they do know how to do them. 
- They know how to load the dishwasher and unload it. They also know where to put all the clean dishes, pots and pans.
- They know how to sort clothes, what cleaning products to use (oxyclean, tide, fabric softner), what temperature to dry clothes in and how to fold and put it away.
- How to make beds.  
- How to make simple dishes and how to follow a recipe.
- How to cut salad, veggies, fruits
- How to sort and recycle
- How to do grocery and put it all away. How to clean pantry, kitchen, fridge etc.
- How to throw a party, how to design the flow of a party, how to plan a menu, music, guest list. How to be good hosts, how to be good guests.

They are busy with their studies and have a long day, so they do not have to do any  chores at all. .  Will they lend a hand and listen to me when I ask for help? Absolutely.  Will they be able to live independently when they leave the nest? Oh sure.

They have been raised in a family where we do a lot of entertaining and cooking. They will thrive and survive because they are not idiots and they are used to a good life  - good food, well run home, clean clothes and a thriving social life.
