It's funny isn't it Lulu how they're all gungho about leaving home but when you point out that they'd better start practicing by cooking one dinner per week for the family, they go quiet again!

TBH - she's a pretty good kid but she'll quite happily watch other people cleaning up around her and not offer to life a finger.

As I said before, I think we're going to have to get a bit stricter about the chores. So far I've come up with this:

Cook one dinner per week (for all of us not just for herself).
Clean bathroom once per week (seems reasonable to me as most of the mess is hers)
Mop hallway once per week.
Empty recycling.

She does all her own washing anyway and she often looks after DD inbetween DP leaving for afternoon shift, her getting home from school and me getting home from work - so she saves us a small fortune in childcare fees.
