Parents with young kids...how much "work" do you make them do?

I have a niece and nephew who are who are 9 and 12 and while they're good kids and have normal chores like helping with dishes and cleaning their rooms, I don't think they really do any work around the house like my brother and I used to have to do when we were kids. And I think my brother asks more of them than most parents do of their kids nowadays.

When we were kids, starting around age 7 or so, some of the work we were expected to do included:
- Wash dry and put away the dishes after dinner
- Pick up sticks, cut the grass, and edge the lawn
- Wash the cars inside and out
- Rake the leaves
- Shovel the driveway and walks (including the part at the end where the plow went through )
- Help put in the dock and boats and take them out
- Help with anything construction related...framing, roofing, staining, etc
- Haul, split, and stack firewood
- Pull ferns from the the woods on our lot (dad thought they housed mosquitoes...we'd get $.01 for every 2 pulled)

While it sucked at the time, it also taught me a lot of lessons I've benefited from in my adult life around having to do hard work, learning how to work and problem solve, doing a good/thorough job (dad would make sure of it), and feeling the pride from accomplishing something. After splitting and stacking a tree's worth of firewood, often in the fall, we'd have frozen pizzas and coke and light a fire, which felt great.

I don't have kids myself but what I see of kids today is that they aren't expected to do these types of things. It's also why I think many kids these days don't know how to work and expect to just show up and be rewarded.

What say you OT, you got your li'l baw and bawettes out there clearing the back 40?
