Short answer to an important question...our experience and how it changed over the years: 

"Hi Bonnie! I’m thinking about our daily/weekly routines for this school year and wondering if you have thoughts on chores for kids. I’m looking at how many hours we have in the day and plugging in reading aloud, a little sit down work, more reading aloud, practicing piano, and then chores on top of that I just wonder am I asking too much of my kids (ages 6 and 8). On the one hand I see housework as my responsibility and am happy to just take care of it all so they can play and enjoy life. On the other hand I don’t want my kids to grow up and not know how to clean the bathroom or do laundry, and it does feel like a good family habit to have help tidying up after meals. Any thoughts you have or sharing about your own experience would be so appreciated! Thanks!"
