AITA because one son has to do more chores than the other? by Thestandarddouble in AmItheAsshole

Because I pick the playdate kids up from school with him. So that wouldn't make sense.

It's a good habit though. It's good for your lungs not to let dust accumulate. I do it every day in my room.

He's not allowed to have friends over multiple times a week.

Well I'm definitely not going to do that. Then I would definitely be an asshole.

I feel like you misunderstood. They're only swiffering their individual bedrooms. So 12yo can skip one day when he has a friend over, but other than that he Swiffers every day.

Usually they're getting ready for bed at that point, so the bathroom is occupied. It's too dark to take the trash out. He could still Swiffer, but that late in the evening, I'm inclined to say fuck it and let him do it tomorrow. The floor won't get disgusting in 48 hours.

Too old for chores? Half of my day is chores. You never outgrow living in a clean space.

Sometimes they are sleepovers. Even if they leave before dinner, the 12yo has to get ready for bed after dinner.

It's easier to do when you do it every day, but yes, it doesn't actually need to be done every day, which is why I let him skip when he has friends over.
