I'm laughing to myself. This was not a problem in our house. My girls (didn't have any sons) learned how to do laundry, clean and cook starting at age 10. Before then they had to help with housework. My theory was that we all had to live there and they needed to learn how to take care of things at an early age. I am amazed at how many parents do not teach their children these things just because it is easier to do it themselves.
