Nowadays, it isn’t easy to get my kids to do household chores and I am sure that
some parents out there are having the same kids problems too.
My hubby was sick and tired of hearing my repeated nagging daily
“ Why you are not doing your school work?”
“Why is your room in a big mess?”
While my son is absorb into the computer virtual world, gave me his response after I
had yelled at him for the 2nd time.
“I will do it later!!”
A common scenario at home, right?
1) Household chores are boring
2) Household chores makes kids feel tired
3) No rewards after chores done
4) Delay time
5) Lazy to move around the house
6) Being taken away from doing kids favorite like to to stuff
7) Prefer exciting games, movies, cartoons that stimulate mood
8) Not kids responsibility to undertake household chores. It is mom’s job
Let’s face it.
When you were young back then, do you feel unfair that you had to do more
household chores than your other siblings?
Being the eldest the my family, I had to do the chores when my mom had specifically
instructed me to do daily.
If not done, I would have to face her constant nagging all night long!
However, that doesn’t mean that modern day kids should be able to escape from
performing household chores.

12. Household chores is one of the best way to encourage kids to feel motivated
13. Helps kids to lose excess calories. ( especially fat, over weight, obese kids )

one is busy for the day due to work or school activities.
16. Learn how to communicate with family members, passing message , giving

They should be encouraged in doing household chores because it prepares them for future.
I have very young kids and I have to admit with no lying I wish there was some help for my house hold chores. It is not easy do a job, come back home, and find all filthy and ready for new circle of cleaning, cooking and feeding. My parents help, my mother in law is radically useless and vain. She does helping only if her son explicitly tells her to do us a favor.
My children are still too small to provide normal help with mind that they will not hurt or cut hands. I give older daughter to help. She can dust and clean simple things, but many times work become play and then younger brothers were one used like mops to reach under bed. It was funny but ever dirty again.
Doing household chores are the best way to train the children to be independent. It is a bonding moment to strengthen the relationship of every family members. We are molding the children to be responsible too.
Well said, house chores have to be done regardless. No one wakes up one morning and becomes responsible you have start from somewhere. And that's where the mum comes in she has to initiate the work in the house and make him kids responsible in their lives. You have outlined them very well there is nothing else to add really. There should be no excuse for not doing house chores that just have to be done.
