My DS isn't at the age for chores just yet, but (and I'm not lying here) DS actually helps me with changing his nappy. He'll crawl to get his nappy out of the bag or packet and crawl back with it and lay down. He'll then hold onto the nappy until I need it. And he's only 9 and half months old!!
When he's older, I will be getting him to do plenty of chores. When I was younger (from 8 onwards) I cooked dinner (the basic stuff though, until I got older and learnt at cooking in school different recipes), did the dishes + dried them, did my homework, helped my brother with his, cleaned up the lounge room + the coffee table, and did just basic general tidy ups.
To me, it shows independance and willingness - Your definitely not the only one
