<blockquote><b>Quoting -A-:</b>" what kind of chores should a 12 year old ? "</blockquote>




Dishes.
Laundry.
Vacuuming.
Mopping.
Mowing lawn.

Basically anything non-dangerous.

I had to keep my room clean, do dishes every other night, vacuum MWF, do my own laundry, and took out trash.

I had to clean my room every weekend, set dinner plates and silverware out, help clean up dinner and do dishes. On weekends I also had to help clean up the living room/rec room and vacuum it and the stairs. I also had to do my own laundry

I would think pretty much any household chores.

My (almost) 10 year old is responsible for; loading and unloading the dish washer, tidying the living room and toy room (he shares this responsibility with his (almost) 6 year old sister), his own laundry (I fold it for him, he puts it away), taking out garbage and recycling, and of course maintaining a clean bedroom.

I imagine a 12 year old can do more, although I know 12 years that don't even do half that.

thank you ladies; i have my SIL living with us and im just like all you have to is your laundry, but im getting tired of cleaning up after her messy self. She never had to do smurf at her moms house.

my mother set up a "reward system" with our chores when we were that age. We had to keep our rooms clean throughout the week as usual, but on the weekends she had a list of things that we could do, and each one was worth a certain amount of money. For example, vaccuuming would be worth $1, cleaning the bathroom would be $4, and so on...dusting, washing dishes, doing OTHER ppls laundry, taking out the trash...

all the money that we made, she put into our savings accounts
