• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

I certainly didn't make this list, but I found it interesting. I found it on that source of truth called "pinterest", but you can certainly make up your own mind about them, regardless of the source. Now. I'm trying to recall if I had the skills listed below at these ages. I'm not sure if I was taking dirty dishes to the sink at age 2, for example. I'm fairly certain I wasn't putting my toys away at that age, either.

I appreciate life skills should be taught but some seem a bit extreme for youngsters.
 
My favourite one on this list is this (age 16-18):

If only...
Some days, I'm happy if they just put their dirty clothes in the hamper and put their dirty dishes in the sink (which are on the Age 2-3 list...I suppose the bar is a lot lower than it should be).
