When that remake of Cheaper by the Dozen came out, we rented the DVD and when the TV crew is coming, the mom tells the kids to clean the house, girls clean the house and the boys do the yard work. And that got me to thinking...when my brother and I were kids we both did about the same chores, but as we got older, it got different, he never had to do the laundry or vacuum except for his own room, he took out the trash and I usually cleaned out the can and put in the new bag, we each had different things to do to clean the bathroom, etc.
What do you think? Should boys and girls be brought up to do different chores or should they each have to do the same kind of work?
I say make all of them learn the same things because if one gets sick or isn't home at the time, is that part of the work just not going to get done? Not in my home when/if I have kids, the boys will learn how to do the laundry and the girls will know to take out the trash and mow the lawn.
