To get kids to do their share of the housework is always a difficult task and no matter how hard you might try, they squiggle out of it somehow. And there ofcourse are those times, when you would rather do it yourself than having to scream at them for it.
But what most of us do not realize as parents is that doing the chores does not only mean helping out, it also helps in building their character, letting them know what it feels like to be responsible for things.
Not just that it is also about teaching them life skills that would be useful for them in their future as well as letting them realize how good it feels to actually accomplish something.
