Mum releases a list of all the chores kids should be doing from the age of TWO – but do you agree?
A MUM has divided opinion after sharing all the chores kids should be doing from the age of two.
The woman uploaded a list showing different age brackets of children, and what tasks they should be able to complete.
She wrote on the : “In case they finish all their homeschool work.
“Can you imagine how organised life would be.... yeah right!”
The list began with jobs aimed at two and three-year-olds, which bizarrely included setting the table and carrying firewood.
Other tasks were fetching nappies and wipes, stacking books on shelves and throwing away rubbish.
The ambitious list then included jobs for four to five-year-olds, which included feeding pets, using a hand-held vacuum cleaner and watering plants - seriously, are anyone's kids this well behaved?
The comprehensive guide featured around 64 jobs in total, stretching up to ones it claimed kids aged 12 and over should be able to complete.
Would you trust your 12-year-old to paint walls, do home repairs and bake bread?

Although some parents said they dreamed of their kids helping to this extent, others slamming the list for being “ridiculous”.
One wrote: “Oh yeah I can just imagine giving my 12-year-old a hedge trimmer.”
Another added: “Change a lightbulb at 8! My husband still doesn't do it and he's 34.”
And one continued: “Anyone who lets there 4-5-year-old water plants and put away dishes ... do they end up with smashed plates and flooded house?”
