[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are too hung up on cooking dinner. The important thing is that the child is responsible for chores around the house. Personally, I think cleaning their room and bathroom and doing their own laundry is more important. My kids help me cook all the time but I would never want to hand it off completely at this age. [/quote] +1. I'm much more interested in having them do their own laundry and clean their rooms. They can also help with gardening, trash, etc. Zero interest in having them cook dinner until they are 15 or so. I didn't learn to cook until after college and I'm a great cook and enjoyed learning. I'm fine with mine helping in the kitchen if they want but I'm not assigning it as a chore. I do want them to learn the fundamentals of putting together a healthy meal and being thrifty, though - like using leftovers, buying stuff on sale - so we talk about that.[/quote]
