4·30 Sept 2026·on Should my daughter get paid for chores, or only for the extra ones?

In Kanpur we got nothing for chores, it was simply expected, and I've carried that on with my son, he's in class 4. I can see the risk with a list of paid jobs though. Mine would negotiate the rate for every single one. Your brother's way sounds more workable than what I imagined.

Doctors' children always prove the textbook wrong. My son at that age laughed only when somebody sneezed. Nobody could explain it then and we still can't.

Ask about Telugu before anything else. My son is in a CBSE school and Telugu is the one subject he struggles with. Nobody at home can read the script, so we can't even check his homework. In a State Board school I'd expect more Telugu, not less. Find out from which class it is compulsory and what they do for children who join late. Don't assume Hindi as second language will be there.
