[QUOTE="navineja, post: 161576, member: 4278"] My girls (now age 7) have responsibility for their room- make beds, clothes in hamper, toys picked up. In addition, they sort and fold/match underwear and socks and fold the towels on laundry day. N sweeps the kitchen and dining room at least 2x a week (I do it the other days) and J puts away silverware and plastic items from dishwasher. Each is also expected to help set the table and clear her own dish and cup. We have never set any of this up as something that is a favor to Mom- it is part of being a family. We do however give a small "allowance" for doing the laundry and the sweeping or dishwasher, after explaining that this is how things work in the real world- you do your job, you get paid. For us though, this is one thing that works well in our home, since most of the time both N and J love to help with stuff in the house. [/QUOTE]
