After reading the post about entitlement my partner and I were talking. We're a little worried his oldest might be getting to use too just getting things at our place. We haven't completely spoiled them but there was a small interaction the last weekend we had them that sent up a red flag. The kids love build a bear and we go now and then to get them new outfits for there's . She saw that I had a new small one that was bought when me and her dad were alone. She wanted to know why they didn't have one. I responded with we'll see what happens next time. The more I think about it though the more I'm worried. We'd like to start having them help out around the house so that they can earn things.

We don't want earning money for expected things like cleaning up their room and throwing away trash more the communal chores. We're thinking the 7 can start laundry and mayne vacuum. The dryer is to high up even with a step stool so we'd still do that. We're not sure what all the 4 year old can do. My partner first said he can put all the dishes in the sink but we'd rather have each person responsible for their own.

By no means do we want to turn their weekend into nothing but work but me and the partner spend atleast a few hours doing stuff around the house and it would be nice if they helped out a little and got to earn their own things that way. If anyone has any ideas please share.
