[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite frankly at 11 and 12 years old your children should be able to cook, clean and do laundry. If you give them a list and cash they should be capable of going food shopping if you pick them up or help carry the bags home.

My kids are 9 and 12 and they do these things.[/quote]

You send your 9 year old to the grocery store alone after school to do the grocery shopping?[/quote]

I can absolutely drop them off at the supermarket to do the food shopping, while I go run a couple of other errands and then meet them back at the supermarket. They show me what they couldn't find or weren't sure of and I sometimes say to forget it or go back in with one while the other loads the trunk and then meets us back inside. [/quote]

You must have a unicorn for a 9yr old. I've never in my life seen a 9yr old do $200 worth of weekly shopping. My 9yr old could hardly see over our full cart at Wegmans, let alone navigate that enormous store.

He wouldn't even be able to reach any of the vegetable on the top shelves.[/quote]
