Raising responsible childrenJan 22 '00 Write an essay on this topic.I truly believe that if your children have their own set of chores from the time they are young, they will be more responsible as adults. As a child I had chores to do and my own responsibilities. My husband on the other hand had everything done for him, for the most part. Even when he was a teenager his mother would come into his room and get his dirty clothes, wash them and then put them away. Now that he is a family man he has a couple of things he does regularly (take out the trash and the litter box) but he still expects certain things to be done for him, like his mother used to do. As a stay at home wife and mother I do not mind doing things for him but it can still get to me sometimes when he just expects something to be done. Now we have a almost 5 year old son. I can tell you he has his own chores to do. He puts his own dirty clothes in his hamper, he keeps his bathroom floor clean from towels and dirty clothes and he feeds the cat (with a little help). He also picks up after himself when he has made a mess in his room. He knows what is expected and does these things without any gripes. As he gets older I will add to his responsibilities and I will teach him how to do his own laundry and some basic cooking skills. I think this will be very helpful to him as well and make him more responsible when he is an adult.  |
