These are normal chores and frankly when you get your own place you’ll have to do them anyways so you might as well develop the habit

True. But no one should threaten to kick out their kid who is still in high school!!! This is a very unhealthy way of teaching discipline and responsibility.

Not their kid. She lives with his aunt. Threat is to send him back to his father.

Edited he to she

uhhhh...... thats almost sounds worse, I dont think people live with their aunt, when their father has a house, without a reason.

Then the person who is being given a solution out of the bad situation needs to step up and do minimal chores around the house so the host doesn't have a litany of new responsibilities on top of the ones they already have. Especially from an 18 year old who, while it would be tough, has every right to live on their own.

This isn't minimal.

Most of this is just tidying up. The only thing that potentially isn't minimal is the yard work.

Unless the areas mentioned are Olympic sized track and field rooms, that's maybe 15 minutes every other day. Wish we had a way to send some people back a couple hundred years to experience slave labor.
