How many times have you heard these refrains or something similar when you request your children to do a chore around the house? Chances are it has been often.
Children can be pros at procrastination, excuses, resistance and refusal when it comes to chores. This causes much concern among parents and conflict between children and their parents.
Children are not born with these traits; they develop gradually as children grow and mature.
Part of your job as parents is to socialize your children during the 18 or 20 years that they live with you by helping them to develop these mature qualities. Therefore, it should not be a surprise, and perhaps you should accept and expect, that they resist helping at home.
