Interesting...I never had to do many chores. I came from a family where homework and school were the kids' jobs. When I was a teenager my parents let me keep my room ridiculously messy. I hate house chores and put them off when I can, but when I do get around to them I'm a perfectionist and do them well.
DH had chores and his mother made sure they got done, and now he's a much neater person than I am. On the rare occasion he's home alone with the kids, I'll almost always come home to a house that's neater than it would have been if I were home. But he only does the chores he likes. He does't mind cleaning the kitchen or doing laundry, but he won't hand wash dishes, change sheets, clean bathrooms, etc.
