[quote=Anonymous]My kids help out with small jobs like vacuuming and bringing in trash cans to earn a dollar here and there. From a young age they've been expected to put their laundry away, clear the table and make their bed (unpaid). At age 10, I taught them to do their own laundry and the responsibility became theirs alone. Not exactly a chore but I also had them make their own cold breakfast and lunches on occasion around age 7. Kids are 7-13 now and generally pretty helpful. I don't have them do heavy cleaning though (no bathrooms, etc) because I admit to being a control freak about it being done well. I have a SIL who never had my nephews do a thing. She did all their laundry, etc until they moved out in their 20s. From day one I've been determined that my kids will not end up lazy. [/quote]
