Why I’m making my kids do chores

Best ever description of parenthood: Planned obsolescence. I make my remote learners do chores during their stretch breaks and recess. I'm not a mean mommy, I'm teaching them life skills. I wrote about kid chores for TODAY Parents here, and that's my kitchen next to Severus Snape and Chrissy Teigen!

Kid-hung towels. At least they're a damp pile on the ground.
BEFORE: Utensil drawer is a mish mash of stuff I almost never use.
AFTER: Pared down so it's easy for kids to put things away.
