My 20-month-old toddler loves bringing the shopping in & doing laundry, people say she’s too young but she likes it
A MUM has revealed that her 20-month-old toddler does chores around the house, insisting that she loves to do them.
Brittany, who goes by the handle ‘thatbamfam’, shared a video of her daughter getting up to all kinds of housework on her TikTok account.
She captioned the video, “What chores does your toddler do?”
“Hey guys, did you know that toddlers actually really enjoy doing chores?” she says in the video.
“And if you’re not sure what chores your toddler can do, this is what I do with my 20-month-old:
- “Bring in groceries
- Feeding the dog (non-aggressive dogs only)
- Put clothes in the dryer
- Grabbing items (like a nappy and wipes when it’s change time)”
The clip has had more than five million views on TikTok, with plenty praising Brittany for the way she’s teaching her daughter to do things.
“Adorable, keeps her busy and gets her tired for her naps,” commented one person.

Another added, “Love this! My daughter does the same, she loves doing what Mammy does. It’s not her doing it, it’s her helping you be able to do it by her joining in as play for her. That’s how I see it for my daughter, they think it’s how Mammy plays, so they do it too.”
“She def not living rent-free!” chimed in another.
However, there were a select few who argued that her son was too young to be getting on with any housework.
Commenting, one wrote: “This seems dangerous.”
“Child labour?” wrote one particularly concerned viewer, while another added, “Child slavery.”
