Just a thought - what age is it good to start kids on housework? My ds is 11 mths and loves helping me hoover. Am trying to turn it into a game so that he loves it when he is older too and more able to do it (ie. not just crawl after the hoover). I hate housework, but don't want to pass that on. Think it's important for kids to do their share, but mine still so young...what are your thoughts, you who have so much more experience?
