Teenagers need to learn that no matter how busy life gets, chores need to be done. If they can’t cope as teens, they won’t cope when they have their own kids and have to juggle between work and home. I suggest give them chores like any single adult would need to do if they are living out. Any chore would do, but especially laundry, floor and kitchen. These are basics. I suggest each has a mixture of 3 different type of chores, not one person just doing laundry alone, so they have a more balanced chore chart to get used to real life.
Making own bed, tidying own desk and room, and doing own dishes and own laundry needs to be done without telling. Those aren’t counted. It’s like brushing teeth. Just a routine, not a duty. Nobody else should be doing any of these for them no matter who is on duty.
