What chores do your older kids do?

My son is only 3, but his chore is to put the dry cat food in a bowl at breakfast.

I'd have thought lawn mowing would start about 13...

I definitely don't think that's too much. At 11 I was doing what your DS does. I also did the dusting on the weekends and cleaned the bathroom. My brother did the bins and some outside things. We had one night a week that we'd cook dinner (although I think I only ever cooked spag bol hehe), and we alternated doing the dishes - one of us would dry while either Mum or Dad washed. At about this age I also started doing my own washing because I got sick of losing my socks
