I’m teaching my son to cook and clean. Right now he likes it (he’s 4). My husband knows how to do these things and does do them even if I’m doing them more frequently. Another thing is people are getting married and moving out much later, a lot of times going through a period of living on their own first. Everyone needs these life skills.

Jessica | Boy Mom :
Mom of boys here and everyone does chores around here. One of my boys loves to plan meals and list groceries. My 12 year old is learning to do his own laundry. My 9 year old helps me come up with meals and groceries. My 6 year old makes his own bed and picks up his toys. My rule is we all help around the home because we all live here. I’m trying!

Our role as parents is to teach our kids to be fully functioning independent adults, no matter their gender. Should an adult child remain single, they’ll need to be able to do every chore for themselves regardless of what’s traditional. I have a son and daughter and plan to teach them each the same exact responsibilities and hope they have the expectation that their partner participate in an equitable division of labor.

Boy mom here! We have a philosophy that they won’t get married and have their wife be the only adult! They’re learning laundry, we’re doing life skills camp this summer and they’re shopping and meal planning. It’s the same as teaching our girls that they don’t need to be financially literate- these are life skills all families need!

My 15 year old son can cook, clean, do his laundry, mow the lawn, handy with tools, and can take care of himself. My 13 year old daughter can do the same. I've always called them Life Skills rather than chores.

Absolutely!!!! I came from my parents straight to marriage and I literally never have done any chores. I suddenly had to learn to clean cook do laundry. I was a deer in headlight! I will not do the same with my kids. Both my boy and my girl will learn life skills

I saw another creator with 2 younger sons say she is teaching them to do the girl chores, but it isn’t expected they do it regularly and the expectation is to do the boy chores regularly. I thought that was a clever way to set them up for success.

How do you motivate a child who doesn’t want to get his drivers license?

Regardless of what we do as adults in our personal relationships and what roles we play there will always be a period of life when we are solo. Whether that’s after college during college or just an adult life. It’s so important for both men and women to have the same house keeping skills. Being able to do laundry correctly, being able to cook healthy meals, being able to shop and keep to budget. I have a 12-year-old son and I always involve him with everything. Even though I love being a mother and I love taking care of him if he needs to, he doesn’t know how to do a load of laundry. He does know how to cook basic food. He makes the best coffee ever. Life skills!! I agree with what you say about marrying a boy straight from his parents house and I would say it goes both ways. Especially when you’re a young couple you both need to pull your weight until you find roles that make both of you happy.

I teach my son “girl chores” but didn’t even think to teach my daughter “boy chores”
