Even in the summertime, clothes still need washing, dishes don’t clean themselves, trash doesn’t walk itself to the curb.  A home needs constant maintenance and upkeep in order to be livable.  While parents are largely responsible for the care of the home, children, as rent-free residents, must contribute in whatever age-appropriate ways possible.  Children may also expect to one day be adults and to have responsibility for a home and family.  They must learn now how to be confident in their life skills so they are ready for what life gives them.
