Starting at around 6 years old I set the table for dinner every night. And by 12 years old I was washing the dinner dishes every night. In between those years I was tasked with clearing the table and rinsing and stacking the dishes for my mother to wash. I would then dry them. It really wasn't an onerous task although I am sure I complained about it a lot.

Now I eat all home cooked food. It's all very simply prepared and doesn't take me much time at all.
