That's right, when children are little they love to help you, their curiosity about the world makes them want to support you in whatever you do, my daughter at the moment likes to wash the dishes hahaha, who likes to wash dishes? Only the children like it because they play with the foam, but it is a good opportunity to teach them, the same for washing their clothes, they also like to help in the kitchen, my daughter and I cook together sometimes, she helps me with simple and Likewise, it is a great opportunity for her to learn and become familiar with household chores, which she will have to do alone at some point when she becomes independent.
My daughter often tells us "Stop! I want to help!"
It's not always easy to come up with things she can do, but she often helps my wife with simple cooking tasks and she helps me change out our water jugs.
Usually, it ends up being more work, but as you say, it's a great opportunity for her to learn.

It really is complicated, it depends on their age, at first it is more difficult, and I totally agree, sometimes it is more work than the help, but they feel so happy being a useful part of the house, the The problem also lies when we are in a hurry or it is something that cannot be damaged, but there we create strategies to make them participate. They also learn by making mistakes, today my daughter calmly mixes the pancakes by herself, I leave the ingredients on the table and she is in charge of mixing, while I do something else or sometimes she washes the dishes (not knives) and I I am advancing some other task, it is very great when they already know how to do small tasks. Keep up the good work with your baby.
