AIBU to expect my dc (8yrs & 5yrs) to help out by doing some basic chores such as putting away their clean laundry, tidying up at bedtime, unloading the dishwasher at weekends, vacumming the stairs once a week, clearing the table after mealtimes. We've tried to get them to do these jobs and met with full scale rebellion or the jobs being done really badly. What does everyone else do and do you link it with pocket money?
I did loads of chores when I was growing up and it was the norm then for children to help out. Is this generation growing up too pampered?
