[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I’d had more chores. I was raised by a SAHM who handled everything. I think having chores would have helped ground me and give me a break from schoolwork. It would have made me feel more a part of the family unit and like I was contributing. [/quote] Same. This is getting closer to the main benefit of chores, that many people are missing. It's not just to lean how to do the chores, it's to have importance as a contributing member of a household. Kids need to feel like they matter, and being a helper, both at home and as a volunteer helping a community contribute to better mental health.[/quote] I did lots of chores growing up and yet it didn’t make me feel like “I mattered.” I don’t see why chores would make a kid feel this way? Affection, love, laughter, talking, adventure - those are things that matter. [/quote]
