Allow your kids to be a kid first

I was chatting with my niece on face book the other day. I was very concerned of her attitude.  After talking to her a little longer I learned this child was cleaning house and watching her younger bother at the same time. Now we all know this is a hard task as an adult. So here is what I have to say about it.
Kids should be aloud to be Kids.
Yes, chores should be chosen for their age. Every person that lives in the house needs to do chores. I do not want to hear mom and dad go to work. If the child is of school age, they go to school. That is their job. Do you bring your work home with you? Even if you don't they do, they have home work. So they need fun time, just like you. They need rest time, just like you. For some folks doing house work by yourself is boring. Make it a family thing everyone does something and make it fun. Gets done much faster, everyone is happy, and time for play.
