How much work do you and your siblings normally do around the house?

My siblings and I; take care of our laundry (take the hamper down to the basement and sort it, wash our clothes, dry them, and put them away), we take care of the sheets on our bed, vacuuming (most of the time, sometimes one of my parents does it), mowing and trimming the lawn, cleaning the bathrooms, occasionally cooking meals, always cleaning up after dinner (it's supposed to be a job just for the kids, but my dad often starts doing the work and we have to tell him to stop, lol), and cleaning up after lunch. These are the things that we are expected to do, and often we'll get asked to do other odd jobs, mainly on Saturday when my dad is home most of the time.

Also, do you get an allowance for the chores you do? We don't.

This, babysitting sisters when needed, feeding dogs, cleaning the kitchen table and counters, sweeping the kitchen floor, and lately I have been loading and unloading the dishwasher. I live in a house of 8 people and no, I don't get an allowance (never have and never will

)

Yah, sometimes we unload the dishwasher, and when I we sweep the dining room floor and wipe down the table, stove, and such after dinner.

Don't live with my parents so if you want something done you have to do it yourself.

Nah, my mom has a small garden in the back that she grows food in, and a neighbor at the end of the street has a large garden on their empty lot. It's pretty big, and they always grow a bunch of stuff in it, and they share it with us (and other neighbors too), which is pretty cool.

That's kinda vague.

Jubel · May 13, 2014, 02:10:55 PM

If something needs cleaning in the house I clean it.
