Did you have chores as a kid?

Question

Answer

My brother and I didn’t have set chores (for example it wasn’t a rule that he’d do the dishes and I’d vacuum it whatever) but whenever we were asked to help out with something we were expected to it. So if my mom asked me to vacuum, I’d vacuum and etc. My parents usually had big cleaning sprees where we cleaned the whole house every couple of months and that was when my brother and I were asked to do the most in one day (we’d usually be given sections/ areas to take on so I’d usually do all the bathrooms and mop any tile/ hardwood floors, my brother would dust and vacuum the whole house etc)
.

Answer

My parents gave up on me doing chores when I was like 7. They decided I really need to try and learn to keep my own room clean for longer than 24 hours

Answer

Yep, as long as I can remember. My daughter started helping around the house when she started to understand what I’m asking her to do. Small things like picking up her own trash/diapers, taking her clothes to the laundry hamper, picking up toys. At (almost) three she now helps me hang clothes, pick up household things, cook, cleans walls with me, occasionally helps with dishes, tidies her room, sweeps (pretends to really, but she’s learning), etc. She will continue to her more chores as she gets older, but it will never be more than she can handle while also balancing schoolwork and any other extra curricular activities- as when I was young I felt it was nearly impossible to do everything my parents set out for me along with my own academic and personal life.

Answer

I was basically the family maid lol 😂 if I didn’t do my chores I didn’t get my allowance, if my brother didn’t it didn’t matter he still got his. Absolutely ridiculous.

Answer

Hell yeah. And when I was grounded or in trouble, they doubled. Or I had to write standards. Good ol' military dad.

Answer

We don’t have set chores or tasks we are supposed to do around the house, but if something needs to be done or we are asked to do it, then we do it. But it’s not like it’s a rule that one of us has to do a specific thing or anything.

Answer

Yes. 
Making my own bed in the morning
Dusting/vacuuming on the weekends
Cleaning the bath tub after I used it
Cleaning and organizing my room
Dishes
Helping with the laundry (putting them back) 
Sweeping 
I plan to give my child weekly chores as well.

Answer

kinda. but usually someone else would end up doing it for us lol
