[quote=Anonymous][quote]Good grief, she asked him to shuck a few ears of corn. It's hard to imagine how asking someone to do such a minimal task would ever be considered wrong or stepping over a line.[/quote] Exactly. And so could a 2 or 3 year old, though not very well. My point is that unless you are asking all kids to participate, which OP clearly wasn't (she said her kids weren't of that age so she didn't know if kids helped with dinner prep), then it may well be over the line unless you have a special relationship with the child or some other circumstance that makes it reasonable exists - like OP was paying for the trip. You just don't single out one kid who is not your own to do chores - and yes, some of us would consider shucking corn as a chore. [/quote]
