I have three children and I make them do housework. However,of my parents agree with me. They think I'm too harsh(严厉的). They also say it is adults' job to do housework all the time.
But in my opinion, each of the family members should help with household. I don't ask my children to do the same. Elder Jimmy can sweep the living roomlittle Amanda can take out the rubbish.
At the end of the day, after they finishwith their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don't, they will have to say goodbye totoys. I expect my children to set the table at night and helptheir own clothes. I don't think I'm asking too much.
I know theyto do these things and they are tired after a long day's study at school. But that's life — harsh but. And I'm as tired as they are. I don't want to pay them for what they do. They live in the house, so they should help outsome things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I'm not about to start doing it now.
Some parents protect their children too much and make their children's lives too comfortable and safe, but I'm notin that way. I hope that my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early.
