I LOVED my childhood and had the best parents... still do.
Though I do wish my mom made me participate in the housework more. We never had to do anything around the house... not put the dishes in the dishwasher or clean our rooms or fold the laundry...
I got married at 21 and had NO housekeeping skills whatsoever. Didn't know how to set the dishwasher, how to do laundry, how often to dust/vacuum & the thought of cleaning a bathroom made me physically ill.
I'm going to make sure my kids learn to do all that stuff... don't know if I'll make them do "chores" per se, but I do want them to participate WITH me and have a little bit more responsibility than I did growing up.
