Can you people not give me an attitude. I just Did this as a fun question! Don't be rude about it!

Answer 1

I commute to college, come home (my step mom stays at home), sometimes i gotta cook if she don't feel like it, then i gotta wash the dishes after dinner. On my days off, or holidays i gotta help her clean the house, she has a fit if i don't. And she has the audacity to call me selfish on some days!

Answer 2

I still have chores. And I think paying your children to do basic chores/responsibilities around the house like mowing the grass, cleaning the kitchen, taking out the garbage and laundry is the absolute most rediculous thing I’ve ever heard. That does not mean I’m against allowances. I just mean to be paid EXTRA for doing thise things is defeating the meaning. Children should be taught as they grow up (even from 2-3 yrs of age) that it isn’t all about having fun and playing 24/7. EVERYONE has responsibilities daily and they just add on and/or change as you get older. I haven’t read any post that says that they don’t make their children do anything around the huse, so I guess they ones that don’t are reading and thinking how mean we are, militant and not letting our precious angels “enjoy being a child”. Those people deserve the hard times that lie ahead with their children.

Answer 3

I had chores as a child and my child has chores too. Chore show that you are an important part of the family. You are contributing something to the family instead of being selfish and just taking. It's important that children be taught to give as well as take. At least to me it is. But, when I was a kid I had a ton of chores. My son doesn't have much but he helps out with other things because he knows it's important to our family to function as a unit. Plus it shows him how to be responible as an adult. Rather than expecting everyone to give everything to him, he knows he can work for it and save up. I think it's good to teach kids that.

Answer 4

I had chores growing up and didn't get paid to do them. My son now has chores and doesn't get paid to do them. You should want to help your parents out around the house because you live there, not because you are going to get paid for it. Because your parents give you everything that you need in life and probably almost everything you want. If you want money, go get a job. Chores at home are exactly that, CHORES.

Answer 5

What;s fair is to list all the chores there are- then give a portion to each member of the family or household. If a person's going to school or looking for work or working outside the home, that person should have less. Others should have more.

Answer 6

I'm 35 and married and still have chores. I tried not doing them but nothing got done around the house. If only I had children so I could get out of this.

Answer 7

Depends on what your "chores" are. If it just cleaning your room and picking up after yourself, that is not really considered chores. When you get out on your own you are going to have to do all the same things and you won't be getting paid. So suck it up and learn to do it now. It is a part of growing up and taking resposibility.

Answer 8

Think of it this way: Are you paying your parents to do the chores? If not, why should you expect to be paid when you do chores?

Answer 9

I`m 15 years old and I still do chores, but I don`t get payed.

Answer 10

Answer 11
