I Believe Kids Should Have Chores

No, all these things are reasonable and teach children responsibility and a work ethic. If your eldest is complaining about her chores, let her do them in the nude . . I always find household tasks more fun without clothes!

Chores help you build character and shows responsibility.

Oh my 13 year old complains about chores also.

Our 'rents managed a small condo complex on S. Padre Island back then and we had our chores to help out as well. Simple things mostly but yes, there were times myself, or sister or brother would whine but honestly, its just part of being a fam and I realize that now of course.

chores are required!!

My teen sons have some chores and I hear a lot of grumbling too .. but they do them or there are reasonable consequences. It's an important part of preparing them for life on their own.

I believe in chores. My daughter complains about the easiest chores sometimes too; it's a kid thing.

I had to work in cotton fields when I was 12, I don't think drying dishes ever hurt anyone.

A friend of my oldest daughter had a friend in high school who used to tell me how poor a provider, and lousy a parent, I was because my kids had chores, had to pay for their own car insurance, pager bill .. and so on .. I told her she was a spoiled brat and needed a sound spanking .. .. she said her parents gave her everything (they did) and never spanked her (they didn't .. .. but I did .. that's another story) .. ..

Fast forward she is now married, a mother of 3 girls, and in myndaughters wedding .. .. she makes a toast to me .. saying that in high school she was my worst parenting critic and we were at odds .. he knows exactly what I mean .. she continued now that I am a parent I can only hope I do half as good with my daughters as he did with his .. .. ..

Tho your oldest may not believe this is good for her now .. likely one day she will .. .. ..

If your oldest is over 12 they resent the physical discipline.

We always had chores at home.

Yes kids should have chores life is not free and the parent are not their maids or servant and it will get them ready for when they get older. Plus you can explain to them well if everyone helps out then we have more time together if I have to do everything well we go nowhere.

Nothing wrong with that.your oldest is just at the rebellious age maybe

My son is 4 and he has to help clean his room at the end of the day and help clean up his messes he makes.

No you are not

she just thinks she's to old for that

You are not asking a lot.
Of course some teenagers, your daughter included, may think you are slave driver. Lol
