[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 11 to 16 and do chores. They do their own laundry, clean their bathroom, clear the table, and do a weekly full house clean (change sheets, dust, mop, clean mirrors/glass, take out trash, put away groceries).

I think we are successful because I did it with them for many years and made it fun (they picked music and set timers). Now, it's a routine. They know that no electronics or outings with friends happen until chores are done. They know that they will run out of socks if they don't do laundry.

Another thing I think that helps is that I taught them to do a little everyday.

OMG you're so clueless. I imagine the PP is black. You need some non-white friends.[/quote]

That sounds like a chore for the non-white acquaintances[/quote]
