[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I didn't read all the posts, but a few doozys caught my eye. My DCs are 9 and 10 - still relatively cooperative, though I know the window is shutting on that. They have a fair amount of homework and activities at this age. But I still strive them to participate in these kinds of chores. Wish I was more consistent about it, but I try. Tell DH that they need to understand what it takes to be a member of the family. Sometimes I think my parents coddled us too much in this regard. Well, not really coddled - it was easier for them to do it themselves when we were younger, but then we were resistant to being helpful when we were older and had no experience of doing so. Probably driven by my regret for not being as a helpful of a child as I could have been....[/quote]
