NEW YORK - Almost everyone can relate to the dreaded task of being asked to do chores by their parents as a child. However, this may have a bright spot. Doing chores might seem boring, but one in four Americans says it's helped them bond with their parents, according to a new poll.
Seven in ten respondents believe they have a strong relationship with their parents , and spending time together (61%) is the top reason for this.
According to a survey of 2,000 Americans, most Americans (64%) enjoy doing tasks they learned from their parents. The survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Kenmore , found that six out of ten respondents thank their parents for the most valuable advice on health and cleanliness .
When it comes to cleaning , the number one tip people have learned is not just to dust things, but to pick them up and dust them everywhere (73%). Seven out of ten respondents learned to wash dishes in a specific order : cutlery, glasses , plates, and then pots and pans. Additionally, six out of ten people still have the habit of "putting the kitchen to bed," meaning they clean the kitchen before leaving.
Not bad: housework can bring families together
21 percent learned the 10/30 rule, according to which it takes 10 to 30 extra steps to get something right when cleaning. Those who acquired these skills indicated that they would also choose to do housework (56%) to spend time with their future/current family.
"Spending time with family is very important, no matter what that family is like and how much time they spend," Kenmore CEO Sri Solur said in a statement. "Because we grew up in a common family, we learned early on the value of community and the benefits of tackling everyday life together. The strongest relationships are formed in the simple moments of everyday life.
Three out of ten people would like to live in a mix of old school and modern society. To make housework easier, laser vacuums (52%), hot air fryers (48%) and robotic vacuums (48%) are the most popular gadgets that people wished for when they were kids.
Chicken soup for the soul of the family
Respondents (38%) also emphasized the importance of bonding, more important than food . The first dish that more than half of Americans (53%) learned to make from their parents was chicken noodle soup .
When it comes to kids' favorite foods , chicken noodle soup (47%) tops the list, closely followed by peanut butter and jelly (46%). 56% would like to cook with their family (56%) to spend more time.
"The essence and purpose of our work has always been about improving everyday life," adds Solur. "By simplifying and enriching the everyday and everyday moments we all experience, we have the power to create something truly meaningful ." »
Parents are often the first teachers in a person's life, and they also teach them about mental health and ways to reduce stress. More than half of those surveyed (51%) learned humor and laughter thanks to their parents. In addition, half of them learned to reduce stress through journaling and exercise (57%).
