Do your kids do chores? And, if so, to what extent do they put forth effort in helping to maintain the household and prepare themselves for the lives that await them? I ask because my kids (ages 8 and 11) do some tasks — they take down the trash and bring up the cans the next day, they rotate doing dishes (most times), they put away their already-folded-by-mom laundry, one boy cuts up his own apple when he’s hungry (the other boy does not because we fear his interaction with a knife), and they basically do most of what we instruct them to do, like rake leaves, wash cars, straighten rooms — granted, not without whine and protest, they do it. Yet, is this enough? Or should they be doing way more?
