"It's easier if I just do it myself."
We've all felt it.
It's easier to load the dishwasher yourself than to teach a 7-year-old.
But when we do everything for our children, we rob them of the opportunity to build skills and feel capable.
Don't just give them a list of chores like your mom did to you.
Language Matters
"Chores" imply drudgery and transactions. They're just something we have to do.
"Responsibilities" convey importance. We each play a meaningful Role in helping the household operate smoothly.

Give them Roles with Specific Responsibilities
We aren't just getting chores done; we are training our kids to "adult" smoothly.
Kids are capable of so much when we teach them properly and set the right expectations.
By building these habits now, you ensure they can run their own lives later.
(Their future roommates and spouses will thank you!)
