Should a busy teenager still have at least 1 chore?

Teen claims she is too busy to do the dishes 2 nights a week. That's the only chore asked of her. She says between school, sports, and her first job she hasnt started yet she doesnt have time. But she still finds time to go out with her friends?

Depends on how busy she is. When I was in school, I literally had no time. I lived in a house with a lot of people, and their dishes piled up quickly. It could easily take an hour or two to finish, and I came home late at night at around 9 or 10. I'd also need time to shower and just relax at home, so dishes wasn't exactly the greatest thing for me. I'd do them, but I'd have to rush to shower and then go to bed right after and didn't really have time for anything personal.
