Chores From a Childs View

I’ve had many conversations with my two children revolving around the topic of ‘chores’! What a dreadful word to them, I mean for goodness sake don’t think for a moment that asking them to get a broom and dust pan is something they would “want” to do! Heavens no of course they don’t but nor did I as a child. I never got that chance to back talk or say ‘just a moment or I will in a minute’ no I had to jump when I was told too do so.

I notice that with my children things come to them so freely and yet so giving and when I say no, why do I feel guilty? I mean do I owe it to them to give them the cell phone they text on wee into the night? Or do I owe them the Wii games and etc? No I don’t “owe” it to them, I give it because I choose to do so but why is it so hard for them to want to do chores?

I asked my kids that very question just days ago and they replied with this. Mom, its not that we don’t want to do the chores but sometimes you ask us while we are doing something or if we are busy.

WHAT? That made me want to scream! I mean its not unusual for them to come ask me for 10 bucks to the dance or the movies or ‘hey mom there’s this really cool” you get the point! So why is it so different? I will tell you what’s so different; we are too giving these days.

We give to our children and you know what, I’m not raising kids I’m raising adults and they will one day thank me for the changes they will see in my giving so freely ways! No more will I just give they will need to earn it I mean my money was earned not given so I feel all children need to earn their wants!

I can provide the needs with no problem whatsoever but the wants, pfshh please! Chores and me asking at the wrong time if that were the case I’d never be told I asked at the right time so with that being said Chores is the way to go for the wants they so call need! ha!
