Should kids be allowed to do chores anymore or is that old fashioned?

They shouldn't be allowed, they should be required to earn certain privileges

It should be a requirement.

IMO you don't get them to do chores, they'll remain unproductive and possibly become dependent on others to do things for them.

I was never allowed to. I had to do them.

Allowed? Does not compute.


They are members of the house they live in. Self care and environment care is not optional. They may not be able to be efficient as little ones, but they will never learn what it is to be a respectful cohabitor if someone does cooking/housework for them. They should be shown and expected to participate as soon as the can.

I don't get paid to do chores, why would I pay them? If they need/want money, they can ask me I will likely give it.

Allowed? You mean required...

Only if you want them to learn responsibly

Yeah, it should be an expectation.

I don't think they actually DO the chores nowadays. They talk about em, look at em, take selfies with em...but they don't actually do em.

If children aren't made to do chore they become entitled assholes

Yes !
Get 'em up chimneys i say !

Mine has chores

Chores learn a child a little discipline and if u reward them for the chores it gives them encouragement and also let's them know that you have to work for what u want in life

No its not old fashioned. My plan for kids is that they get the basics. Everything they need. If they want any special privileges tho they need to earn it a lil

Eh. I wouldn't make my kids do chores. As long as they go to school and get good grades.

I think everyone living somewhere should have to contribute in a way they are capable of. But chores are defined as [i]a tedious but necessary task[/i]. Doesn't sound like great marketing to kids. My dad used to call it family work time and we'd all feel like part of a team and he'd encourage us. I found it was a great attitude to take into a relationship later on.

Duh! If they want an allowance...

Mine has chores and he’s 5

Allowed? More like required.

I always had to do it, and still do it.

Since when do kids have this as an option? It’s a non negotiable part of life...Now if I reward you with an allowance good for you and if I don’t then consider your rent ,your food and clothing as payment

Allowed? That kind of implies that they really WANT to DO chores badly BUT ARE JUST NOT ALLOWED TO!...HA HA HAAAAAAA

They need it in my opinion. I builds structure and teaches them that life is work. Helps prevent these spoiled, entitled turds that make a mess of everything.

It's good for kids to have some responsibilities at home. Plus you can offload the things you don't want to do on them.

Of course. They have to learn to clean up after themselves eventually.

Put the fuckers to work

I make my kids do chores.

Mine do

Train them to work and have a job. Or not train them so they can have welfare.

its really boring but I think its good that we learn how to do it

NO, MAKE IT ILLEGAL >:(
