If you find something that actually helps, let me know.

My life consists of working fulltime, then watching the kid while my wife goes to work in the evenings and on the weekends. I also have to find time to shop, cook, bake, do mechanic work, handyman work, yard work, grow the garden, run a small apiary-centric business, and so some of the cleaning/laundry/etc.

In my experience kids really like helping with chores if you phrase it right and get better as they get older, until they're teenagers. My kids are 5 and 6 and will help with weeding, clearing up cuttings, washing car/windows. They generally crave attention, but they also like being left alone to watch TV :-)
