At 12 big J started doing all his laundry- start to finish.
At 16 he became responsible for cleaning the front bathroom (completely: toilet, shower scrubbing, floor, counters, mirror, etc.)
He also sets the table each night for dinner and does other things as asked (garbage, lifting, etc).
I think he should have an outdoor chore, but perfectionist Dad won't let him touch it!

Little J (he's 5) is responsible for daily food and water for the cat and the dog, along with cleaning his own room and keeping his toys cleaned up everywhere, inside and out.
He LOVES to clean so he's always begging me to let him clean the blinds or the windows, or vacuum or mop. It's pretty funny.

When big J leaves for college, Little J will take over table setting and cleaning the bathroom. We will do his laundry together until he's ready to take it over (12 at the latest).
