The Loose Women panelists sparked a heated debate on social media after discussing how a parenting expert claimed children as young as 18 months should do housework and help around the house.
It comes after Myleene Klass, 42, who has daughters Ava, 13, and Hero, 9, already took to Twitter to share a sweet video of his 20-month-old son Apollo emptying the dishwasher on his social media.
But as Loose Women panelist Judi Love viewed the topic as a gender debate and explained how she encouraged her son to weigh as much as her daughter, Kaye Adams, who has two daughters, said the one was tidy while the other was messy. – and put it down to personality differences.
However, viewers remained divided, with a comment: “Ridiculous, let the little ones be toddlers, get out of your *** sloth and do it yourself. Lots of time to teach them how to help.
A second argued: “My little one just comes to help me without being asked, he loves to help put things away and put things away.”

Commenting on the video, Nadia Sawalha said, “Isn’t that what is wonderful about toddlers. They just want to do what makes you happy. They just want to do what you do. When you get to teens , that’s a whole different story of course.
Jane added: “Maybe if you start them at this age they see it as a routine and still do.”
But when Kaye Adams asked the panelists if they consciously initiated their children into a routine of household chores, responses were mixed.
“I’ve always kind of asked the kids to fold your bed, tidy the room,” Judi Love said. “So my daughter is fantastic with this and my son – he’s surrounded by so many amazing and beautiful women – that I’m now very conscious of saying to him, ‘Son, you have to go do this and you have to go do this. ”

According to a poll by the show, 53% of viewers said yes you should start young toddlers, while 47% disagreed – and social media users were equally divided (pictured )
I’m very conscious of making him weigh as much as his daughter, so he knows it’s not like, “Oh, girls do that.”
She continued, “It’s not that he doesn’t do it right now, but I remember one time I called him when I was away and he said, ‘Yeah I’m playing. just play my game and wait for my sister to prepare my food. “
I was like “come down and help her prepare your food.” It just made me think of him with so many amazing women who panda him. I don’t want him to grow up like “oh yeah a woman does this, a woman does that”.
So he knows it and shows it. Sometimes I come home and he rubs my face, he makes me some tea or you’ll see him wipe himself off. So I’m definitely on him.
Kaye went on to say how funny it is that, because Judi has a girl and a boy, she sees it as a gender issue.
‘I have two daughters. One is quite tidy and does a lot of cooking which is fantastic, while the other is from her Aunt Nadia. So it’s not a question of gender with them, it’s a question of personality.

Jane added: “I never had to do household chores as a kid. I have no recollection of it and to be honest I didn’t do it with my kids either.
Their room might be a mess, I’m just going to close the door on it – I don’t care. What I don’t like is that my rule at home is that if you make the mess I want you to clear it up. I don’t expect them to clear up my mess.
Judi interjected, “Oh, I want them to clean up my mess because I’m paying for this house!”
According to a poll by the show, 53% of viewers said yes, you should start young toddlers, while 47% disagreed – and social media users were equally divided.
‘What is your secret?! I still can’t get mine to do this at 7 & 5 !! Such a guy, “one wrote, while a second commented:” Fantastic, start them early. “
A third wrote: “This is the cutest video! What a little super star !!! I’m going to have to show this to my boy! ‘
However, another commented: “I bet he dropped a few plates in the process!” and a fifth added, “When my kids were toddlers they loved doing chores. It was as I got older and discovered the outdoors, football and the PlayStation that that changed.
