My 7 year old is responsible to keep her own room clean, and make her bed. She gives the dogs food and water, wipes off the table after dinner, brings her own laundry basket down and takes care of her own folded laundry. She also does easy little chores once in awhile like wiping down the light switches or front of the dishwasher. Lots of “wiping stuff” chores lol. Oh and she loves dusting in her own way. I think she just likes using the Swiffer Duster.

I don’t remember exactly their ages, but I think my daughter was about that age (her brother would have been around 10) that I developed a chore chart for them. They learned how to clean bathrooms and vacuum, and also take care of their own laundry. As soon as they were tall enough to reach the bottom of the top load washer, they did their own. By the time they graduated HS they knew how to manage the every day as adults. It takes some time and patience to teach them, but I’m a firm believer in teaching independence. I am always their mom but I am not their servant :rofl:

My 7year old daughter has clean her room (put toys in toy box, make bed), fold and put away her clothes after I wash them (she doesn’t wash/dry as we’re in a triplex and the laundry room is outside of our apartment), and a she’s to shower herself (we turn on water and help her with the door as our door sucks lol)

Feeds the dog, let’s the dog outside, puts his dishes in the sink, clean his room, put his own clothes away after I fold them. That’s about it I honestly am trying to get him to do more but I don’t trust him to do things right :rofl:
