The article discusses a family's decision to involve their three children, aged 14, 11, and 5, in household chores without offering allowances. The mother, overwhelmed by managing all household tasks, along with her husband, sought to distribute responsibilities more equally. By assigning daily chores, the family aims to teach the children about teamwork and the importance of contributing to a family unit. The approach reflects intentional parenting, aiming to raise self-sufficient and responsible individuals who understand the value of shared responsibilities in maintaining a home.
"We don't pay our kids to do chores. There's no allowance tied to emptying the trash and no reward system. This decision is one of the most intentional things we've done as parents."
"We're simply trying to raise capable, aware humans who understand that homes don't run on autopilot, and that being part of a family means pulling your weight."
