How much do you/your children have to do around the house?

Hello,

I'm still a child myself (and will remain one for about five years), but my friends hardly have to do anything around the house, and unlike them, I have to do quite a lot. They have to clear the table and tidy their rooms maybe once a week. I have to set and clear the table twice a day, sometimes cook, empty the dishwasher once a day (sometimes twice), tidy the hallway, keep the room tidy, and help my mother whenever she needs it. So, what do your children or you have to do around the house?

Best regards

KInder should learn that they do not live in the hotel and that the mom is not the maid, but they are part of a team where everyone has to do their part. They are not the servants of parents, but also not the Schlaraffenland inhabitants,

Agely – but from the time they can run – they are supposed to participate in the work. I know a divorced mother with three children who have this principle, the children don’t know it differently, feel valued and are proud because they can do everything,

Hello!

The ‘must’ irritates me. At the latest two years, children are proud to help. The time comes when children also have other important obligations. Then they think when they can do their job or ask if someone else does it for them. Of course it is.

My parents didn’t have any special rules, we’ve all packed on our own. Especially in recent years before I moved out I have helped a lot (cooks above all).

Why? Because I knew I could relieve my parents and how much work that is. You like to help. It doesn’t mean contributing to its part, especially when you get everything financed by the parents.

We always had to cover and clean the table. To help wash (either rinse or dry – dishwasher there was not yet), bring laundry to the laundry basket (if necessary, of course), clean up your own room or toys. These were the daily tasks. Then clean the bathroom once a week or sweep the street. So the one I and the other my brother and the next week was exchanged – until we agreed not to trade anymore.

My child is only 3. With him, household is still playful and connected with fun. He helps with cooking as well as he can. Cover table. When covering at least his thing – he is usually no longer to hold. And he tries to take part in the sucking. Oh, and pour flowers. But at the moment everything is still exciting.

My son is 16…rooms clean up is clear, for the first time he has to clean up the dishwasher, bring garbage out, carry on big shopping because we have 53 steps through the garden to the house, there is a lot to drag and if we’re gone once in the evening he has to supply the 2 cats

Maybe your son should wash, cook or clean the bathroom? Excuse me, but he’s almost grown up. Why don’t you let him clean the house? Are you the only one to clean?

So you’re 13 years now.

I don’t know exactly what I had to do with 13 anymore. But as a child, of course, I also found: I have to do too much. Also compared to my friends.

Table cover was of course, also sucking was one of my tasks at the age, I still know. Rooms are fine. Laundry inside the laundry basket and back to the closet when washed.

I knew quite soon how to operate the washing machine and what to wash. Drying and washing also helps. basically daily except it was just something that prevented me more or less. I had to justify it.

As a child, I had to wash off daily with my mother (drying off) and she sent me (occasionally) for shopping to the merchant nearby. My brother had to get coal from the basement.

There’s something you need. You think that’s bad?

Everyone should help in the household. Your mother does it right. Of course you need time for learning and homework.

She shouldn’t bother you, but in principle I find good what she does

So from my child I expect the children’s room to be tied up in the evening (playmobil may stay)

as well as the living room if there is a craftsmanship or toys (this can also be two times a day, the craftsmen are also nicely arranged)

When I rinse, my daughter often dries off. My daughter is six.

I am still young myself, but I can talk about my education in the thema. In school time, I have to do as good as nothing in the household except to fold back and forth during the laundry or so I think that’s normal. During the holidays I have to help a little more because my priorities are not at school. My mother thinks that the school is my only firm job and should remain until the end of my school age.

So in §1619 BGB it is clear that a child in the household has to help:

The child is obliged, as long as it belongs to the parental household and is educated or entertained by parents, to provide services to parents in their household and business in a manner corresponding to his powers and his position of life.”

WAS can make the children/sollen is, of course, dependent on the state of development, and there are good recommendations on the net, for example:

My children are now 4 1/2, 3 and 1 1/2.

They almost deny who is allowed to clean the dishwasher 😀

In the evening, the apartment is shared, as everyone helps.

The big and the medium dust like to suck.

The large mowing also diligent garden.

Everybody’s helping us pluck.

In the kindergarten, they have a saying of “Many hands make a quick end.” And that’s true! Surely the little one needs to clean up even longer in the building block than we do. But it’s a job that’s going to take us off, so we can do something else.

At the bottom there is more time for any family-time 🙂

My kids are 10 and 14.

Clean up your own room, clean up dishwashers, clean up your children’s room, bring garbage out, cover your table and clean up, throw dirty laundry into the washbasin.

That’s all my length.

It is important that the children also remember that they do not have to live in a hotel and also take care of it.

My children had to do a lot in the house. We have deliberately not dealt with cleaning women or household aid. So they learn.

I don’t have kids, but I don’t think it’s bad you have to help. You know later in your own apartment how to lead them. Your friends will ask why their parents didn’t teach them.
