My daughter is almost five and I realise that she hasn't got any proper chores. Has anyone got any original suggestions for regular chores? I'm less interested in the help factor, more interested in something that won't create more work and that we can keep going easily. There's tidying room (daily struggle), water plants (please, no! they will die), take crockery to the sink. Other ideas? We don't have pets and no proper garden.

Setting the table for meals with cutlery. Wiping down table with damp cloth, putting recycled items in the appropriate bin/bag/whatever. Washing up (standing on chair or stool washing up unbreakable items)

Helping to make sandwiches i.e. buttering bread.

One of my daughters loved using the hoover ( she soon grew out of this when became a teenager)

Helping to make shopping lists and getting the things in the shops.


Sorting out the washing into colours/ whites (I did end up with piles all over my floor of colour groups - really sweet!)


Tasks such as 'tidy your room' are too difficult - it needs to be; 'put the books on the shelf, put the socks in the sock drawer' and other specific things - needs to be manageable and clear to understand

    • Was chatting to my mates including Robert Jenrick in the Crompton Arms in Handsworth and this was an obvious one   Robert come and have a chat, I once lived in Handsworth, you twit The track has improved further with age
    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
