What are they able to do for themselves spontaneously and well, without being prompted?

Get dressed
Make their bed
Have a shower
Wash their hair
Brush their teeth
Hang up their towel
Occupy themselves at home other than in front of TV/computer
Cross the road

Etc etc

I was reading this and thinking that my ds needs nagging about all of them, and he's 13!! Is it me or him?

On the other hand, he does clear the table, empty plates into bin and load dishwasher all without being asked. Will always make drink for sister when making one for himself, makes us cups of tea and offers to cut lawn even knowing he won't get paid for it.

Swings and roundabouts I guess.
