What Chores do your teenagers do?

[NellyNellyNelly]

Please tell me what chores your teenagers do, do you pay them? Mine are aged between 14 and 18 and I am fed up with clearing up after them.

This is my chore "wish list", opinions (good and bad) and most welcome.

Make their beds daily.
Put laundry in the laundry bin, not on their bedroom floor.
Take dirty cups or glasses to the kitchen AND put in dishwasher. My kids are not allowed to eat in their rooms apart from fruit.

Fruit peel to be put in kitchen bin not left in bedroom.
Rubbish to be put in bin.
Put their freshley laundered clothes away.

Is that enough, or do you expect more from your teens?

Very true. I used to be a smug parent back when my daughter was < 11. Her room was always pristine.

Since she became a teenager I learned to just shut the door and pretend that part of the house doesn't exist. I swear one day her bedsheets will walk out and jump into the washing machine themselves.

and I quote SecretSquirrels further up the thread who said

That's why you always get someone (who has a compliant 4 year old) on threads like this who scornfully tells us that their DC are fully house trained and do all the chores willingly and we are bad mothers because our teenagers don't.
