DD, 13

We expect her to help setting and clearing the table and help with the odd things where a second pair of hands is helpful.

Empty Dishwasher 5 of us all on a rota.
Clean the bathroom on a 3 weekly rota ( 3 of them take it in turns)
Bins/recycling
Hoover their bedroom and the stairs
Strip and make their bed
Put away their laundry
Make their breakfast
Hoover the kitchen and mop all the floors.
I also do the kitchen and mop all the floors just ask them to do it from time to time.

I have a wide range of ages, so it is a bit varied.

No one is repsonsible for chores really as we all clean the house in one go once a week and then everything else is ad hoc. So they are responsble for doing as they are asked when asked

The list of things they get asked to do includes:
washing up
cleaning bathroom
dusting
hoovering
recycling sorting
gardening stuff like watering plants
changing sheets
laundry - washing/drying/sorting

Do you all give your kids regular things to do, or do you ask them when they need doing?

They all did their own school things, so making pack up etc., and then their school ironing from secondary.

@beginningoftheend mine are solely responsible for drying up, setting table and putting their clothes away. The other stuff is as and when. My motto is if I have to do it so do u!!

None, if you mean things they should be doing unasked.

They generally unload the dishwasher, lay the table, and do the dishes, splitting the tasks between themselves, but dh and I will take a turn, too.

Dh and I will call them to do various chores, but none are assigned to them. Except making pack lunches (you want one, you make it), putting their laundry in the basket/wardrobe and emptying the wastepaper basket in their room. I don't tidy their rooms, but support them if they are struggling to do so.

We don't do chore schedule or anything but on a regular basis my 8 and 10yr old

Vacuum
Scrub the counters (butcher block)
Pick up
Tidy their rooms
Help with laundry
Wipe down cabinets
Sweep/Swifer
Empty dishwasher
They also help with yard work

Exactly the same here.

Yes this is what we do to

Nothing.
However they do clean their own rooms, change own beds and put own laundry away, but it's up to them to organise when they do it.

Mine are young so have to be told obviously (3 and 6) but they know they have to:
Put dirty clothes in the right washing baskets (light/dark)
Fold uniform ready for next day
Take their snack box & water bottle out of school bags and leave in kitchen for me each day
Tidy up what they've been playing with before they go onto the next game.
Put their own cutlery and plates in the washing up bowl

Eldest is in charge of her own homework, spelling and maths tests but knows I will help as much as she wants. I won't force her to do it if she isn't, natural consequence and all that, she does it anyway because she likes school work and her teacher is fab.

Well at the minute we're just concentrating on her putting any things away that she should do anyway!! She's 7

Oh don’t get me wrong, mine need reminders - all the time!!! I’m hoping in another say 5 or 10 years they might just do the chores without me asking (but by then they will have moved out!!!)

We generally just work together, for example have a big tidy up with hoovering and just share it out. Mealtimes for example as I finish cooking they lay the table and clean the room ready. Laundry wise I may empty the basket as they check around for items elsewhere. Cleaning the car one chucks rubbish, one wipes inside while I start the outside, or any mix up of that. Rather than working alone we tend to blitz together, unless an individual creates a chore on their own- for example if they have everything out in their bedroom then they put it away after.

11 year old:
Empty dish wager everyday
Stripe own bed
Sort own clean clothes
Bring down dirty laundry
Tidy bedroom/ hoover and dust it

5 and 7 year olds:
Strip own beds
Tidy bedrooms with help
Bring down dirty laundry.

Three kids DS (16) DD1 (14) and DD2 (10)

All: Unstack/restack dishwasher
Put laundry in washing machine/dryer
Clear table after dinner
Make drinks when requested
Dust/hoover/clean bathroom
Picking up dog poop from the garden

DS cooks dinner, usually once a week
DD1 walks the puppy
DD1 also makes her own school lunch

Bring down their dirty clothes
Bring down rubbish from their rooms
Fill up the cats upstairs water

DD aged 6:

Setting the table
Taking plate to kitchen after eating
Her own washing (and she often does mine too) although I will do hers with mine if it's something she desperately wants or is important to her and I do school uniform
Making sure the cat has water in her bowl
Tidying up her toys

Mine are responsible for

Making their beds
Pulling their curtains
Tidying their bedrooms
Putting clothes in laundry
Putting laundered clothing away
Keeping their games room tidy
Tidying up after themselves
Clearing the table after meals
Clearing away homework and organising their bags for the next day
Making their own breakfast

In addition they help out as and when, taking shopping in from the car/ emptying the dishwasher/ cooking the occasional dinner or lunch/ helping with gardening/ doing a load of laundry/ hoovering/mopping/ cleaning litter trays/ cleaning bathrooms/ washing windows.

Growing up we each had daily chores and weekly chores. I’m not as structured but I’m aiming that they will know how to do various tasks, know that there is a lot of different aspects to running a home, and see for themselves what needs doing and pitch in on their own initiative.

Wow. I think I need to up the ante!

My 12 yo -

*Responsible for feeding the dog breakfast and dinner inc refilling water bowl if needed.
*Clearing table after dinner and wiping down mats.
*Morning - make bed/open blinds/tidy room/breakfast bits in dishwasher.
*After Shower - squeegee the shower door and walls, hang towel/mat
*General - washing in laundry basket, keep room tidy, school organisation.

Other than the above it's just as and when we ask her to do something. Usually met with eye rolling

My 4yo - nothing well apart from helping tidy up toys.

@TheClumisestChildOfAll your 6 your old does her own washing ?!

Mine is now 15:

changes own bed
Tidies bedroom
gets own breakfast (i hadnt really appreciated that this was a chore but they do it and happy to do so)
Puts away clean clothes / puts dirty clothes in laundry basket
cleans bathroom (paid an extra £10 pcm for 2x per month clean)
Sorts out own homework/school bag +plus what he needs for going to dads.
clears table after meals
loads dishwasher, then has to reload as not done "correctly"
washes and cleans car (to a beyond high std) - sometimes I pay, sometimes I dont. It's his little business with neighbours but using my water so I do feel a "freebie" is not out of order.
Steam cleaning and running the robo vac. (Seriously running the robovac is a full time job when you tinker with its settings as much as my teenager does)
Helping Granny without fuss. So we help her with cleaning, bits of gardening, computing bits.
Starting to help more with daily cooking

Fails miserably to refill the cat's water bowl in (1) his room (2) his bathroom

DD5 just started pocket money (£1 pw)
Take milk bottles out
Keep bedroom passable
Put socks and underwear when removed in laundry basket without being asked
One other thing that I can't remember, but similar to milk bottle job

Nothing except a general expectation that I don't have to do anything at all in his room and that it should be kept in a reasonable state including changing the bedding. I'll get him to do all sorts of domestic jobs pretty often but there isn't a list. He's 17.

Chimney cleaning.
