Chores

[sugarkissed]

I know that our kids are only 2.5, but have any of you started chores or certain tasks to help out around the house?  I haven't done much, but I was at SIL's house tonight and she had a list of things for my nephew who is 3 months younger than DD. It made me wonder what the norm is for this age.  

I do get her to help clean up her toys and to help clear the table after dinner, but it's usually me doing most of it!

Not chores per se, but I'll ask my girls to put their clothes in the hamper, put the wipes box away, get me a tissue out of the tissue box to wipe their noses. They absolutely love doing little thing like that. They'll even run to get DH's slippers for him if they notice he's not wearing any. They will (unprompted) get their jackets and shoes for me when they know we're going on.

Cleaning up their toys is still more miss than hit, unfortunately.

She picks up her toys at the end of the night, helps put her dirty clothes in the basket, puts her silverware and plate on the table, "helps" fold washcloths, and does the dusting (which I redo when she is napping). She loves helping!

We don't have any "set" chores for DD just yet, besides having her help pick up her toys (which is hit or miss, I'm not sure how to encourage her more on doing this anything you guys do that works?). She does love to help out with whatever I or daddy are doing (besides picking up her toys ) sweeping, changing trash (getting a new bag or carrying the small bathroom bags), putting recycling by the garage door, unloading dishwasher (I only let her grab anything that is plastic), wiping up messes on the floor, laundry (she will grab a stool and help load the washer and will also put the wet clothes into the dryer when I hand them to her), and she will help daddy fix things (hand him tools, etc.).

No chores, but she has to help clean up toys before bed and when the opportunity arises around the house misc tasks.

Same as everyone else. We have her bring her dishes to the sink when done eating. She will clean up toys with us when we are done playing. She likes to "help" with things - sometimes it's nice and sometimes her help isn't really help ( like when making the bed)
