you’re right that you shouldn’t have to ask in the first place.

I’m not sure this is true.

They’re rising seniors in college, which means that a year from now, if all goes well, they will no longer be part of your household. They may already think of themselves as living elsewhere and simply marking time in your home. The key words here are “your home.” Soon, it will no longer be “their home.”

So yes, if you want them to do chores, ask them to do them. But I wouldn’t expect them to be invested in a household that they may no longer see as their own.
