What is the merit of having one's children do chores? Should children be paid to do chores?

Asked by gimmedat (3951points) June 26th, 2008 from iPhone

I don’t have a set of chores for my kids (15, 11, and 10), but I do expect them to clean their rooms, pick up after themselves, and do whatever other jobs (brush the dog, vacuum, etc.) when asked. I don’t pay them to get it done because it’s part of being in this family. I know some fams that have daily chore charts, and pay the kids at the end of each week. What are your views on kids and chores?
