Do Your Kids do Chores? Only 28% do

Interesting stat I came across this weekend. Only 28% of kids today do chores. Parents aren’t having kids do chores today. Of the 28% that do them, they consider making their bed a chore. They also believe they should be paid to do chores. What do you think?
When I was growing up, I had many chores. I could cook, clean and do laundry by the time I was ten. I didn’t get paid to do them, it was part of being in a family. I never thought of being paid.
Did you have chores? What were they? Did you get paid? Did you have your kids do chores?
I am interested to hear your thoughts on this subject.

• Kathy Peterson We did whatever we were told and when we needed something it was usually there…for money we walked beans and picked up corn after harvest.
•  Janet Kai Amen Kathy Peterson same here, always had chores, babysat, walked beans, had a paper route, etc. Started buying my own clothes for school by the age of 10. Cause that’s what we were taught. Had to buy my own first car, not like now where some kids expect mom & dad to buy whatever they want. My kids have been taught like I was, you want something you have to earn it, seems like they take care of it better that way!
