[quote=Anonymous]Our kids do chores simply because they are members of the household and everyone contributes. Also there is an expectation that they respect property and people. I have zero desire to raise them to think that they don't need to lift a finger and everyone around them will run circles to clean up after them, keep everything clean and tidy and ready for them. Sure there are many things you could choose to not teach your kids as children / teens and leave them to learn as adults. But it is developmentally appropriate to learn basic domestic care as your grow and what it means to be part of a family and household and how to respect people and property. I can't imagine just running around behind my teens cleaning up after them and anticipating their every need to be sure they never had to lift a finger. [/quote]
