[quote=Anonymous]My siblings and I were never asked to lift a finger around the house. My mom even cleaned my bedroom for me into my double-digit years. At a certain age I just began wanting to help her with the cooking and cleaning, etc. My siblings and I (all mid-to-late 30s) all keep very tidy homes, do our laundry, cook wholesome meals, are married to lovely spouses who are equal participants in the household duties. And when we're home for holidays, my mom never washes a dish because we bend over backward to alleviate the burden. I appreciate that my parents worked hard to let us be kids. I used to hate going over to friends houses and hear their parents harp on them to do their chores or x, y, z was going to be taken away or they couldn't go do something. Honestly, I don't mind cleaning, I love to cook and I wonder if its because it was never punitive in my home growing up. Different strokes for different folks, but I think it worked for my family.[/quote]
