As much as I would like to, not me.

Chores are good for you. Extremely annoying, but good for you. They teach you discipline and teamwork. So not me.

And besides, most of the time you get paid.

Until you're like me. I could have a job but I don't :P

For any retard that says they don't want to do chores for your parents...wtf, they give you a home, put food on the table, do half your damn chores anyways, so respect them, take out the garbage, do the dishes, and love you

now let's strike against homework and school in general! *1 person applauds*

my chore is taking out the trash, i do it once a week on sunday. even if it's small it helps.

chores are like brushing your teeth, you may not like it but it's better for you and everyone around you (stinky breath)

Yeah, a strike against chores would be dumb. They're not that hard, they help you prepare for life(when you will have a job), and they help both you and your family a lot. Besides, a strike would never work. You'd just get grounded until you did the chores.

Dude that would be stupid, first, it helps you parents who, again gave you all of your things most likly, and you would get in trouble. Also what are your chores anyway? I do almost all the dishs (once in a blue moon I dont), always take the gabage and recycling to the curb, take the garbage to the cans, help with landry, help clean the house, go with my mom when she goes places because shes in pain alot and needs my help, to grocerys inside when there bought, put them up, do the kitty litter, and preety much handle most of the computer problems. Also I DO THEM ALMOST ALWAYS WITHOUT ASKING, I also RARLY get paid, at the most 20 bucks least 5. I also do the lawn sometimes as well.

Hey, this strike idea is ludicrous.

You don't need to strike if you don't like doing them.

I rather do them. They're the least I could do for my parents.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who agrees to this (and not in a sacastic way) are lazy whiny bitchs whos parents should throw in a boot camp or a thrid world contry to see how easy they got it. Actually they should be made to go to there parents jobs, pay the bills, and raise a kid, to see how rough there parents got it.

Chores....

Hmm, I just moved to another family, and they seem to do everything for me. I don't know why. My last Foster Parent was lazy, ignorant and mean. I had to make dinner for him, and even buy my food. I didn't get payed for it either.

But now, I feel much happier without having to do any chores. Yay! ^_^

chores strike may also result in various strikes from your parents side.
like the internet strike, the video game strike(which will affect you more than them).
or the doing the laundry strike etc. etc.

i think it is totally ok and important for children and teens to help in the house.
1. your parents have a lot to do, and they do a lot for you, so it is only fair to help.
2. you learn a lot how stuff in the house works, so when you move out, you are able to do things by yourself and dont have to live in filth.

of course chores have limits, too. children should help in the house, not run it.

and i think payment for chores as not necessary. lot of kids get an allowance, or parents by them a lot of stuff they need and want. so it wont hurt if you help a bit(doesnt take much time).

Anyone here who works a full-time job and still does chores has right to complain. Anyone here who goes to school, doesn't have a job and only does chores does not. Chores suck, but I do them anyway right after work. The thing is, if you do them instead of whining and complaining they'll get done so much faster. What a concept!

no he has not. if you live in a household, there a chores to be done. these works, should be divided equally between all people who live in tht household.
the only ones who do not have to help are people incapable of helping(too young, too old, ill, disabled etc.).
so when you are able to work full time, then you can also help with the housework.

i live alone and have to do everything by myself, no matter whether i am home early or late, and how tired i am.
so get used to it, that you have to do stuff by yourself.
start by helping at home

I'm totally in. I hate cleaning up my place, and there's nobody else that lives here to do it for me.

I'm on strike!!!!
