Lifehacker 에서 추천하는 아이들 나이별 집안일 하기

어쩌다가 발견하게 된 글인데 읽어보니 일리가 있는것 같고 타당성이 있는것 같네요.

우리 아이 소중한 아이니 오냐오냐 하면서 키우는 경우도 있고 아이들 시키느니 차라니 내가 직접하는게 빠르고 정확하고 속시원해서 그냥 내가 하는 경우도 많이 있는데 아이들에게 집안일을 배분하면서 가족이 다 같이 하는것도 좋고 아이들이게 책임감을 부여하는것도 상당히 괜찮은것 같네요.

물런 미국 사람들도 여기에 못미치는 경우가 많이 있겠지만 9-11세들이 자신들의 아침과 학교에 가지고 갈 점심을 준비하고 빨래를 도와야 한다는것이 좀 놀랍네요. 우리아이들은 아직 한참인듯 ㅜㅜ
