When younger they should be helping with chores around the house. It does not have to be a lot but the sooner children get used to contributing the better. Their own development benefits. As they get older they should do a little more, again it does not have to be much, it is the principle. When earning they should contribute an amount negotiated between parent and offspring.

However trying to get my eldest step daughter to do breakfast dishes results in an argument because she is just bone idle in that regard. Spends longer arguing and getting into trouble than if she would have just done the 3 bowls, 3 spoons a plate and a knife.
Needless to say she wont be complying with the offer I'll be making lol
