• Household Chores

  I recently got into a discussion with my friends about doing household chores. We were talking about someone we know whose mother still makes them do household chores when he's home from college-- and not just standard things like taking out the trash, but re-painting the walls, waxing the floors, and scrubbing the carpet.

  When I was a kid, my siblings and I each had different chores to do around the house. We alternated between setting the table, taking out the trash, walking the dog, and "pooper-scooping" (scooping up our dog's poop from the backyard, the most dreaded chore of all). But these were all contributions we had to make to our household, and we earned worthwhile weekly allowances.

  What household chores did you do? Do you think it is expected for all kids to have chores?
