What sort of responsibilities goes with age 10

Posted by Dinah on June 19, 2006, at 2:16:43

He can pretty much make his own breakfast and lunch - at least the simpler ones. He doesn't use heat yet. He manages a lot of his clean laundry. He's supposed to comb his dog, but doesn't do so well with that. He structures his own homework. He carries his own dishes to the sink. I think he's overwhelmed with picking up his stuff. he does it ok with supervision and suggestions. He also has the job of putting empty garbage bags in the interior cans after my husband empties them.
So he does have a lot of responsibilities with regards to himself. But I was wondering if he should also start to take on family related responsibilities. Like maybe help with the cooking or with our special projects like painting.
I don't have a really good sense of what's appropriate because I had way too many household responsibilities, and my husband had far too few.
