sigh. Story of my life–never did any chores, never responsible for anything, didn’t learn to cook at all…I get that the intention was good, and while I’m good with cooking and cleaning now, it was hard in the beginning to learn everything from scratch, cooking moreso than cleaning. (Before anyone gets snarky–I know it doesn’t take a genius to wash dishes or do laundry or clean the toilet, but…it’s still something you gotta get used to doing)…it’s not something I’d repeat iwth my kids.
Plus, doesn’t giving kids chores and stuff give them a sense of responsibility and help build their confidence/esteem? Parents/teachers weigh in?
