Parents often complain that they always
have to tell their teenage children to do
their chores. Parents think their kids are
irresponsible. On the other hand, teens
feel their parents are always nagging and
complaining
A major problem is that parents think
that teens need to do the chores on their
Schedule, while the teens think, "Why do I
have to do it now, when I can do it later ?”
This usually leads to unnecessary conflict
between teens and their parents.
The general questions parents usually ask
about chore are the following: Should teens
have them? Should teens and parents agree on a list of chores together? Should teens have freedom to decide when to do them? Should teens be paid for doing the chores?
One mother says, “I don’t get paid for
doing housework. Why do I have to pay my
daughter for doing chores?” Another parent
pays his son for doing the housework and
odd jobs around the house. He says, “No
chores, no money. It makes teens responsible
for earning their money, rather than having it
simply given to them, as an allowance .”Some
teenagers complain ,”My friends don’t have
to do chores, so why should I?”
Normally parents expect their teenage
Sons and daughters to help around the
house. But parents and teens have to agree
on the kind of chores and when the teens
have to do them. One mom’s son wants
to do his chores after he goes out with
his friends, but then he’s usually too tired.
Another mother only lets her daughter go
Out after she finishes all the housework.
But housework never ends! So what’s the
Solution ?
Teens and parents have to reach a
compromise. There has to be common
sense on both sides, don’t think?
