[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does she do? She needs to contribute more. Laundry,[b] cook dinner once a week at least.[/b] Clean rooms, bathrooms, yard work etc. [/quote] That seems ambitious for ten.[/quote] It's not. I know a 9 year old who makes her own shopping list and cooks dinner once a week(she has been doing this since 8.5). It can be something really simple like steamed green beans, boiled rice and ground beef. But she should be responsible for cooking and cleaning after herself. The best way to not raise a brat is to give your kids chores and responsibilities as soon as they are able to do them. A 10 year old can cook dinner/breakfast once a week, clean and mop their bedroom and bathroom on the weekends, and do their own laundry. If they are running their mouths, they are probably not aware of just how much work it is. Let them do it. They'll appreciate the work better.[/quote]
