My granddaughters, ages 6 and 7, basically grew themselves up while their parents worked at home during the pandemic. They vacuum, clean the kitchen, do laundry including folding and put away, load the dishwasher and more. Sometimes, all they need is instruction and expectation.
I grew up in the 80s. At age 7 I was left home alone from 4pm to 8pm Mon thru Fri. Babysat 6 kids at age 12. Did my chores, ate, did my homework, and got ready for bed.
@@angelacarlisle1708 How is it wrong that a child is *willing* to do chores just so that they could more free time with their mom? Unless you, yourself, know what those chores were and whether or not they were appropriate for whatever age OP was at the time; keep it to yourself (I see you spamming comments with your *opinion*). Also, you (and any kids you may or may not) would *not* survive Japan as they have kids as young as 5 start cleaning up after themselves during/after school, help dish out food for other students during lunch, and generally start learning the life skills needed in order to thrive *away* from Mommy and Daddy.
@angelacarlisle1708 so nobody's allowed to think differently than you? You're silly. You're part of a family you act like a family. And people wonder why we have so many lazy disrespectful children coming up nowadays😮 none of them are being taught responsibility or respect.
@@BrookeTorres95 because shes too young to be on her own..ok do chores i agree but shes in a dangerous place being on her own at that age its pathetic..as for not surviving in Japan i really and truthfully wouldnt want to 🙄
I am a millenial and it was the same for me. Even had to go down into the cellar and get 3 buckets of coal upstairs to fire the stoves for heating in winter. That was in the early 90s.
Japanese kids are full grown adults everywhere else. Watching an elementary school kid walk alone at the subway station to catch her next train is next level…
Not every place has school buses to pick the kids up for school or schools conveniently located less than a half mile from home. So you did what was available, either taking public transportation or walking. Also, considering most jobs parents had either started before the school day did or the parents had to travel themselves (not necessarily in the same direction) to arrive on time for their jobs. Not saying there wasn't the same amount of craziness out there (yes and no), but you didn't hear as much about it unless it's in the immediate neighborhood or made the local or national news.
We are a weird inbetween here in Europe. Our kids go outside by themselves (not the one under 6 years old) , they go to school by foot/trams/buses/metro/trains but we don't expect them to go that far on doing chores. They are asked to put plates on the tables for example and that's all. 😂
@@Lostouille It's because you don't have to worry about some clown in an ice cream truck offering "treats" to your children.

This was my life as a Gen X kid. By the age of 9 I could cook a full roast dinner. We had rules and we had parents who would whoop our asses of we did something bad. Manners were everything. I will say this though my parents never left us while on a business trip.
Also, not to shit on your use of the word, but they literally said gen X & NOT a “boomer”. If you’re trying to insult someone at least get it right lol.
@@angelacarlisle1708right? Being a latch key kid isn’t a good thing. Leaving your child home alone with no parental figures for days on end, is abuse in itself.

@@BaldCoryxKenshinfan I grew up okay... 😅 I stopped blaming my parents long ago, and try to feel grateful because I came out independent and responsible. I can be childish and mature at the same time. ❤
I had a chair pushed up to the sink at age 5 to help my sister do dishes. Walked the 6 blocks to kindergarten alone everyday, then 7 blocks to Grandma's after school. We didn't get to stay alone until 7 years old either. It wasn't uncommon back then, but now it's highly unusual.
@@johnjames483437 states have no law stating their is minimum age limit a child must be to be left home alone. So your statement maybe true where you are, but false in others.
As a child raised by Asian parents. We loved to do this. Because we are motivated by price. Specially with our exams, 😂😂😂 the higher the score the higher the price (money) 😂😂 even the household chores 🤪🥰🤣🤣😂 I miss my childhood.
I was home alone in the summer when I was 8 years old. Mom left a list of chores and I had to have them done before going out to play. Nothing hard; dishes and dusting and make the bed. If she left me money, i could go to the store for ice cream or a comic book or go to the swimming pool. 1958 was a good year!
You being appalled by a 7 year old taking care of themselves would also be appalled at my parents for making me my little brothers' primary caretaker at age 10. The youngest one called me mom until he was 4. I tried to tell him to stop when i was 12, but he started to cry, so it continued. But i really did try.
@@wowdantenowhere to be found considering more than half of these comments are saying that it’s a good thing to be a latch key kid, and to be parentified instead of having caring parents that were actually in your lives. 😭
I started staying home at 12 yrs old cooked my meals in the microwave,great cartoons did chores, laundry mom came home at 5pm.had cousins,Aunties call in i was Good
It's great for a seven year old all of my friends and family started doing most of that stuff by 9 for sure but tidying up my room from the time I could walk. I was an only child and by 9 I was getting up for school and coming home at lunch making my lunch then going home after school chores for that day Dusting, vacuum, peeling potatoes getting meal prep ready for when my Mom got home at 5. Oh ya homework done
Practically had to do this on my own when I was little too. Not this exactly but just go back a few generations and I did that. Building a fire, chopping wood, cooking breakfast or dinner for myself, and feeding the animals.
My son did his own laundry when he was seven. He also cooked full meals by himself. He baked chicken, started the charcoal grill, and grilled perfect steaks. Americans baby their kids.
Reminds me of my childhood. Chores were divided between me and my siblings. I kinda miss it because it was a shared experience between us regardless of what kind of day were having.
I was born in the early 70s. This was normal for many in my generation because both parents worked full-time jobs. She's doing an excellent job. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I know mom is going to see this and think that all children are like that then send me this to remind me that I'm a disappointment because I don't deep clean my room once a week
"Left 7 year old for business trip" says the person holding the camera... I'm millennial and my gen Z daughter as a kid I and her now is expected to do some of the same chores this little girl was doing ... Shoot my daughter was starting and mowing the lawn at 8 years old without being asked either
In Asia doing chores at a young age is common, they even let us clean our own classrooms, we have assigned cleaners everyday, and even rich people's kids are not exempted since most private school does it too.
As a german kid, born in 1967 this was nearly my life. Both parents working, so I had to do most of the chores. Not a lot of time to play with other kids... But I'm still alive 😉 By the way, all this videos look like advertisement sponsored by Temu 😂😂😂
My brother and I did all this on Saturdays in the 1970s. We were taught that if you live here, you help clean up. Useful life skills. And when you live away from home in your 20s, you won’t be pure useless. My brother can iron his trousers when his wife is otherwise busy. He can successfully feed himself.
😂😂😂 that high tech security camera is the best i ever seen. It catching every movement and angle at the right time. A burglar not getting out that house without getting caught
Asian children are raised to clean up after themselves from a much earlier age and the public schooling focuses a lot more on lifestyle and independence, such as the ability to cook meals and clean up after one’s self; they have rotating chore charts to clean up the entire room to engender a sense of fair group responsibility, so they don’t just clean up only after themselves, but once a month or so it’s their turn to ALSO clean the whole classroom top to bottom and take responsibility for the messes of others. It saves the school on a cleaning budget and creates a sense of responsibility to the school itself and the system of group cooperation in general, instead of encouraging hyper individuality as we do in the west. In Japan at least I know about, there’s so little violent crime and the transit system is so efficient that kids from a very young age take public transit, by themselves, to and from classes. It’s a really interesting difference in philosophy when it comes to actual life skills and preparedness, ON TOP of clobbering the US in terms of nearly every educational metric, like literacy, math, history, science knowledge levels, foreign language skills, general school attendance and standardized test scores. They’re doing something right in a lot of other places that the US will never ever adopt, I fear. We’re not so good at change.
I'm a boomer. I remember when our nation was #1 in all the things you mentioned. Our schools and colleges were the envy of foreigners. Public schools taught homemaking/sewing, woodwork, and auto mechanics. Our education system took a dump when people wanted to be liberated from their traditional way of life. The family broke up, and the kids were left alone. Morals took a hit as well. You can see how all of that has worked out for us.
USA needs to adapt the way they do things in places like Japan. Our younger generations (including mine... and I'm a grownass adult) need to learn this kind of responsibility.
😂 Yep. Doing households was also very common in carribbean heritage families. After you completed your chores you did your homework. There was no lying in on a Saturday either. I was able to clean a whole chicken throughly, cut it into small pieces and season it at 7 years old whilst standing on a chair at the sink. Of course if you were a boy you got off easy.
I did all of this and took care of my sister while our single Mom worked. I didn't have the electronic innovations 71 years ago! We were taught well and how to pull together as a family. We all had responsibilities.
Gen Z: By the time I was 7 I got home, grabbed a snack and did homework, cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed, had my laundry started, swept the kitchen, and made sure there was whatever meat taken out of the freezer for Mom when she got home. I was a key kid alone for about four hours five days a week with a flip phone to call Mom or Emergency (thankfully never had to-), and knew to lock the door and not answer for anyone. Also knew which neighbors to find if there WAS an emergency, which thankfully never happened. I find it kinda sad kids AREN'T taught like this anymore. It's not hard. When I was done with everything I took a shower and played with my toys, watched TV, or played on the PS2 we had.
I didn't start to be left home alone until I was like 12. I have two younger brothers as well. I was not to be trusted alone, probably would have destroyed something.
Some of the 4 year olds take the train and go grocery shopping in Asian countries from what have heard. This is were responsibility and respect are highly taught, possibly hard discipline too unfortunately.
It's an asian thing and a Latino thing, I was this independent at 7. Did my own laundry, made my own breakfast, made my own bed. The only thing i didnt do on my own at that point was make dinner and transport myself.
Actually, Chinese children are taught to be self sufficient as soon as they are capable of walking and talking. There are no janitors at school, the kids are responsible for keeping the premises clean as of day 1.
Parents should raise their kids to be more independent, not coddling them too much. This will pay off in the long run. At 7 you're sure not a baby anymore and there are lots of things you're able to do for yourself.

It's an asian thing and a Latino thing, I was this independent at 7. Did my own laundry, made my own breakfast, made my own bed. The only thing i didnt do on my own at that point was make dinner and transport myself.
Actually, Chinese children are taught to be self sufficient as soon as they are capable of walking and talking. There are no janitors at school, the kids are responsible for keeping the premises clean as of day 1.
Parents should raise their kids to be more independent, not coddling them too much. This will pay off in the long run. At 7 you're sure not a baby anymore and there are lots of things you're able to do for yourself.
This was me, too. Both parents worked, so I had to keep the house and watch my siblings, too.
I mean this was essentially me when I was a kid
bro, a 9 year old in china is a cashier with 20 years of experience 😂
Man, this kid really is self sufficient She filmed herself, and even got the camera to move with her, as though someone was moving behind. Brilliant.
