[quote=Anonymous]NP. Like several other PPs, I grew up in a house where I didn't have to do chores that involved cleaning, laundry, making my school lunches, etc. My "job" was to do well in school and ECs (so I did have to pack my own backpack, sports bags, etc.) And like those PPs, when I got to college, I had zero problem cleaning, simple cooking, organizing, and doing laundry because those things are just really easy to "figure out" and do! And if anyone were actually stumped nowadays, they could just watch a 30-second Youtube video on X, Y, Z task and be all set. I don't give my kids household chores. I think there are better things they can be doing with their time. The key is that you raise your kids in a home that is clean and organized so they become accustomed to that standard and appreciate/expect it, such that they will WANT to replicate it in their own homes and will put in the effort to do so. The execution, again, is easy. [/quote]
