One in four children do nothing to help their parents around the house

I am sure that kids like me around the world hate doing chores around the house. However, other kids like to do chores. For example, me, I get rewarded for doing chores around the house as I get an allowance each month for doing this. This kind of reward might be different for other people.

Well, a survey has found that a quarter of children do nothing to help their parents around the house. This might sound familiar to some of you out there… When actually, doing chores around the house will help you in the future when you are older. I bet now, some of you will be thinking and saying to yourself, “how will doing chores at a young age help you when you are older.”

Well the answers to your thoughts are that if you do chores at a young age, for example: cleaning your room, hoovering the house, do the ironing, wash the pots, wash the counters down, and lot’s more! By doing all this, you will be fully prepared and ready for the future, when you own a house, and you have to do all the house work.
The job kids are most likely to do is tidy their own rooms and make their own beds. In comparison, most parents spent four hours a week helping around the house when they were kids. I bet you didn't know that!
But how about you? If you’re a kid, do you do house work in your house at all? Let us know with a comment below...
