It usually depends on the child's age. Young infants (3 - 6) usually are requested to order their toys or to put their laundry on a specific basket for that purpose; older kids (8 - 12) can perform more complex tasks such as to clean their rooms, do the dishes or take out the garbage. As small grocery stores are common in Mexico and conveniently close to most residential areas, many parents ask their children to get stuff from there, such as a bar of butter, a can or tuna or one kilogram (2.2 lb) of tortillas. Teenagers (14+) are requested even more complex tasks, such as paying for utility bills, 'driving mom to the supermarket' or taking care of their younger siblings.
