I have a dream. I'd like to turn out self reliant, helpful, resourceful young men, not selfish slobs who think we have house elves. Please tell me it's not too late! They're 11 and 8 and I haven't really tried in a consistent way to get them to do a share of the domestic stuff.
I'm not talking to those sane and wise parents who got their dc to help out around the house from toddlerhood, but those who've started a bit later.
Any suggestions on how to change the domestic culture, preferably without magic?
