Dishes
One of my nephews is 11 years old. All he does around the house is clean up his messes in his room (he shares a room, so he doesn't do all the cleaning), and helps rake leaves. He's done the dishes twice, no wait, he did a few dishes... first time, he only did the silverware, second time, half the dishes, then went to "take a break" and never came back.
I personally think at 11, he should be contributing his help around the house more. But when I ask him to do the dishes, he acts like I'm asking him to eat a bug. I think the dishes are something simple for him to do, but really helpful.
I constantly tell my mom this, but she's got it set in her head that he is still "little", and not ready for house chores.
Do you guys agree?

It's never too early to get kids doing chores, but you're going to have an uphill battle if the person with final authority (your mom) won't back up your play.

True. Now that I think about it... it doesn't make sence. They had me doing this stuff at 9, he's 11 and they say hes too young o.O

Do you think domestic skills are something that is innate? Like all skills, they should be taught and taught early to be most effective.
