My oldest is 9 but he lives with his dad. He does some chores when he's with us but we don't make him do many because we only see him 4 days a month, so he's not there to work. My middle son is almost 6 and we have chores for him but getting him to do them is a constant fight. It is really frustrating. We also fight with him about doing his homework, etc. The baby is only 4 months so he isn't chore ready yet.
