Having them clean up after themselves. My 10 year old can help me carry trash and recycling up. They have all made valiant attempts at laundry folding (6/8/10-ages). I don't always enjoy playtime, and am honest with them. Sure, there are kids in this world who come out of childhood feeling unwanted and unloved. I'm sure, it's not because Mommy/Daddy didn't want to play tea time some days.

I like the old saying, 'kids don't come with instruction manuals'.
