I have an 8 and a 3 year old which is tricky as I have very different expectations and the 8 year old can't see why I ask her to do more than her sister. The attitude of , 'I didn't make that mess, why should I clean it' gets me. Yes, Lauren is old enough to start to help tidy but she's not exactly able to make beds, put away clean clothes, tidy bookshelves, put dirty clothes in the laundry...all of which E could do but doesn't.
