[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much money does he need?  I don't think its fair to put the siblings as his primary responsibility.  You are the parents.  He needs to be able to do sports if he enjoys it and a little tutoring on the side and you need to take care of your younger kids.[/quote]

Stop trying to be provocative, PP.  You're just embarrassing yourself.  [/quote]

How am I embarrassing myself?  It is the parents job to get their kids to school, not a sibling?  It is not fair to pull him out of sports and put parenting responsibilities on them.  Fine for him to earn some side money but to have him drop out of activities to parent and work is extreme, especially with two working parents.[/quote]
I agree with you, PP. My mother grew up having to care for her younger siblings and she hated it. She told me that she only had two children (my sister and me, I am the oldest) because she wanted to make sure she could afford childcare for her children and she vowed that she would never make me give up an activity to watch my sister. I didn't know all of this until I was an adult and I really appreciated that she did that for me. I am doing the same for my kids.[/quote]

Not all families have the luxury, Ladies.  All OP said was that her son drove the kids back and forth to school.  Not exactly hard labor for a 16 yr old.  He works after school as a tutor so he isn't watching his siblings - just driving them home.

Relax on calling the authorities.  [/quote]
