I could do all that. I even volunteer to move spiders on request for a jam tart.

You do have to do your homework, have nice table manners, clean your room, put laundry in the laundry basket, eat it or starve, carry your own stuff when out, understand no means no and not wee or poo on the patio and if you can walk and understand what I am saying to you, you have simple chores like setting the table, stripping beds, putting underwear in the right drawer etc until you are old enough to have more complex ones.
I am a mean mean mean Mummy!
Ha ha! You're a proper task master - you have my admiration. My son does afew jobs, but I never thought to make him strip his own bed. He's going on a residential trip with school next week, we had the information evening this week, there was lots of talk about them having to make their own bed, but somehow my son interpreted it as "Miss Sterling will be making all the beds". I don't know how he'll survive tbh.You do have to do your homework, have nice table manners, clean your room, put laundry in the laundry basket, eat it or starve, carry your own stuff when out, understand no means no and not wee or poo on the patio and if you can walk and understand what I am saying to you, you have simple chores like setting the table, stripping beds, putting underwear in the right drawer etc until you are old enough to have more complex ones.

I've just told OH to teach him how to put a duvet on. I don't think I have the required patience. He is somewhat spoiled, being an only child, only gradchild on one side (even though he now has step brothers, he's still an only child, if you catch my drift) and being the youngest among his extended family.Crikey Sara, he's got a good life your son. Stripping the bed is easy, its the getting tied up in the quilt that's the difficult bit and give him fitted sheets.
His future girlfriend/wife will thank you.
Luckily I was trained from a very young age never to wee or poo on the patioYou do have to do your homework, have nice table manners, clean your room, put laundry in the laundry basket, eat it or starve, carry your own stuff when out, understand no means no and not wee or poo on the patio and if you can walk and understand what I am saying to you, you have simple chores like setting the table, stripping beds, putting underwear in the right drawer etc until you are old enough to have more complex ones.
