I have 2 kids....a daughter, who will be 7 on the 14th of this month, & an 8 yr old son......My son does dishes, helps take out the trash & helps me with laundry.....My Daughter helps with laundry..she is the sorter....picks up toys, clothes, & papers....picks up her won room.....My son told me it is unfair that she doesnt have to do dishes...I told him, he is older, so sometimes, more is expected of him. My daughter can't really reach the sink...even when standing on a stool...& I dont trust the standing in a chair...so she doesnt have dish duty yet...After, I said this to him....I felt kind of bad about it....I remembered how it would make me feel when Mom would say it to me, when I was a kid......Was I wrong in telling him this?....Should I apologize?.....They each have their own sets of chores to do to get their allowances.....
