LOL DD can do most of that but fights her writing journal for homework. We dont have a guinea pig so teaching her how to put water in the cat's water dish w/o spilling on the floor. Measuring cups are great for little hands.

Wow, alot of kids have their OWN bathroom? Realy? I would not make my kid clean it, I would help. Same with laundry and trash.
My DD is 6 and is very independant. She makes her bed, helps with laundry, helps around the house, picks out her own clothes, brushes her teeth without asking and does her homework without being told
Clothes- yes both by the time they were 8 or 9
Clean and vacuum room- yes but son has to be nagged LOL. DD started doing it without being asked at 10, DS is already 11 LOL.
Trash- yes for son, its his chore. DD refuses.
Brush teeth- no both kids have to be reminded still but DS less so.
Clean the kitchen without being asked- NEVER LOL.
I wish! Lol awesome on your dd!!!! :) my kids do most of that, but, I have to ask or remind. :) I still put out clothes. My kids are girl, 8.5, and boy, 9.5. Besides normal things, like cleaning the room, ds takes out the trash, and changes the cat litter. Dd cleans their bathroom, feeds and waters the dogs and cats. They do other random things I ask. I wish they did more on their own. We spoil them too much. Lol
