“Setting regular chores probably means you will argue more. A third of parents in the U.S. who require their youngsters to perform regular household duties argue with them once a week, according to the survey. That compares with just 21% of parents that do not require that their kids perform household chores.

But the payoff is big. According to the survey, among parents who require chores:

87% report their kids are doing well in school, vs. 61% of parents who do not require chores.
92% report their kids are creative, vs. 80% of parents who do not require chores.
88% regard their kids as responsible, vs. 63% of parents who do not require chores.
92% regard their kids as disciplined, vs. 78% of parents who do not require chores.”
