My husband makes our 9 and 13 year old do yard work: Is that okay?

Good job Dad ! Raise the kids to be workers not lazy a$$es. Never to young to start learning lifes lessons. Thank your husband for making life a little easier for you :woman_shrugging::+1:

I think having responsibilities as a child is important.

It’s great! They need to learn and help out.

Great dad teaching kids responsibility.

Good for him but I would supervise the 9 year old

Children doing chores makes them strong and responsible😊

Are you serious. They are part of your family and need to help. This builds responsibility.

I think it’s a great idea!!

yes absolutely! they especially should want to help!

Pay them a little so it will be rewarded and nothing wrong to help parents :heart:

My kids did all of that and more.

Those ages are fine to do age appropriate jobs.
Good on him.
