we've always given my son chores.  it's so easy to spoil kids rotten these days and they turn out to be lazy adults.  not saying my son isn't spoiled lol...he is, but he's also got a great attitude/personality and isn't one of those that thinks they are owed anything.

I have 2 girls, I try to make them do some small work to help me like, put away the folded laundry, clean there room, put away their clothes, toys etc., Its always been their stuffs not mine or my husbands. I think we have to make them girl or a boy they should learn keep their stuffs neat clean & organized.

I don't have kids or anything but when I go visit my sister her kids have chores to do.

Our kids do have chores, the majority of which they do get paid for. They are 11 and 9 and it is their responsibility to keep their rooms tidy and it is also their responsibility to keep the guest bathroom tidy. It is not always tidy and I have to nag them to start work. I realize they don't want to work, even for money, but does the rest of the world? Suspect not.

I don't have kids, but if I did they would have chores. I think it teaches responsibility. It would be age appropriate and not so much that they don't have time to be kids. When I was a child, if my dad caught me sitting it meant - to him- that work was not getting done. That is extreme for a child.

Yes my kids do. They have to make their beds and take out their trash. On Saturday we have a house cleaning day where they clean their rooms and bathrooms and help wash the base boards through out the house.

I am starting to give house chore to my 5 years old. But she likes and pick the  cooking chore, which is hard and dangerous. So I convince her that washing dishes is more fun than cooking, hopefully she`ll buy it.

I don't have any children, but if I did, they would surely have some chores!

Yes, I think it is important that children have chores to do around the house to teach them that being part of a family  means you have to participate in both the fun and not so fun things that contribute to family life. I also think it is important they get real jobs when teenagers to teach them the value of earning money to get things you want. My kids had to do both things growing up.

i had chores growing up...so did my daughters and both my granddaughters have chores to do..i dont think it hurts to have the child do things around the house

I remember my mom would give each of us a certain cleaning job.
We got an allowance.
A few dollars could buy something decent.
Nowadays, everything is so expensive.
We learned about setting goals, even some that took a while to reach.

Yes mine do! I think is very important to make them WORK for things versus just handing them everything be aide they appreciate it more!
