Re: What chores do your kids help with.
My kids (11 and 8 y.o.) are responsible for:
Keeping their rooms clean
Cleaning bunny and guinea pig cages and frog aquarium
Feeding pets
Folding clothes (theirs) and putting them away
Help with cleaning, vaccuuming and washing the car
Dog walking
Taking out the compost
Help with mowing the lawn (a non-power push mower)
Taking the recycling bins out to the curb, and back
Help with raking leaves in the fall
Help with cleaning the bathroom
Responsible for cleaning any mess they make
Help with general house straightening at times, or when company is expected
Shredding junk mail
Setting the table
Help with bringing in the groceries
Help with straightening out the coat/shoe closet
Sprouting sprouts in our sprouter
Fetching water from our distiller that we keep in the basement, and refilling it
There's probably more, but these are what comes to mind at the moment.......
(In a few years I would like the kids to help out more with laundry and dishes -- and also with some meal preparation.)
