As the second oldest of a fairly large family(10 kids), I have had the privilege to to learn leadership and parenting skills my whole life. But there is one thing I have not learned yet. My issue I would like some wisdom on is this: Where do you draw the line between doing the younger kids chores so as to set an example, and just letting it go, hoping they git'er done, and hoping they don't be lazy? In other words, say one kid has to clean the dishes, and they won't get them done. So I step in and do them, and when the younger kid sees that, they should be learning through my example how to work hard, and the importance of getting the job done. But what if you have done this more then enough times, and they STILL won't do the job, completely or efficiently, and they still wait around for you to do it, which you must, because they have taken up to much time already?
P.S. The real name of the thread is: To clean or NOT to clean. I forgot the T.
