1. Their kids do chores
Julie Lythcott-Haimes, former dean of freshmen at Stanford University and author of ‘How to Raise an Adult’ says that kids who don’t do chores don’t become productive adults.
“If kids aren’t doing the dishes, it means someone else is doing that for them.” That means they don’t learn “that work has to be done and that each one of us must contribute for the betterment of the whole.”
In short: having your kids do chores isn’t an abuse of power; you’re teaching them to collaborate with the team (your family for now, their coworkers in the future) and to work independently.
