[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you people are ridiculous. No wonder you are raising such despicable, selfish, entitled teens. Part of being in a family is contributing. Asking a teen to drive a sibling to school in the morning is perfectly reasonable. Especially if you are paying for the car, gas, and insurance. The afternoons might not work some days because of after school activities. But there is no reason a teen should not be responsible for babysitting.  I drove my sisters all over everywhere.  Just part of living in a family. We are very, very close. I have five children and the [b]older ones help out when needed. Families work together.[/quote][/b]

That's the rub. When needed. But OP is saying her daughter (would she demand the same thing of a son?) to do drop offs and pick ups + after school baby sitting every day. That is a lot. And I seriously doubt OP only demands this during the school day. I'm sure she also requires her daughter to babysit on evenings and weeks where applicable. 
I grew up in the same environment. But of course my sister was too young to babysit, so she got to do after school activities or sleep over at her BFFs house while I was stuck at home watching my brothers on weekend date nights. 
While you may have been thrilled to be made a mom at an early age, not every daughter is. &lt;- notice the emphasis on daughter. I doubt OP would require the same of a son. [/quote]
