[quote=Anonymous]My parents never made me do chores. In terms of knowing how to do things in adulthood, I don't think it was a big deal. I love cooking now and am very good at it, and cleaning is not a hard thing to learn. I never ever did laundry at home, but then I got to college and needed to do my own laundry, so I did it. It doesn't take practice to work a washing machine. HOWEVER, I do think I have a lingering sense of general imcompetence because my parents never made me feel like an integral part of the home running. I always have a feeling like I'll somehow be in the way if I try to help others. I wonder if that would've been different if my parents had given me chores growing up. My mom didn't have a lot of time for the house and just wanted to get things done fast, and children "helping" was a bother.[/quote]
