This is typical, but that doesn’t mean that it’s right. If you live in a community, you have a duty to support the community, not just yourself. (And yes, we have dealt with a similar problem!) So make a list of the tasks that need to be done to make the household thrive and sit down with your kids and ask them to pick the ones they can do. Tell them they are the executives in charge of those tasks. The responsibility for doing them falls on them. If they only choose a handful of tasks, leaving the rest to you, call them out on it. Young adults just need to be educated about what it takes to run a household.
