What Chores Do You Require of a 12 Year Old?

My dd is busy outside of school with sports practice 3 days/week and we are usually gone on the weekends. I haven't required a whole lot of chores of my kids because I'm a stay at home mom and I actually prefer to do most myself (I'm pretty picky about laundry and I have lots of breakables when cleaning). But, it probably would be good to give my 12 yo some chores just so she's trained to do certain things. What do you give your pre-teen for chorse?

"Stain Removal" Need Magician I Think!

Hi Mommies, How do I get baby carrots out of cotton? I have not machine washed or dried the item yet. I have used the Dreft stain pen, soaked in Dreft and used the Spray -n- Wash Dual Power and soaked again in Dreft. The stain is minimal now but still there. This is going on 3 days now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks D.
