[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG the people on this board are nuts. I have three kids similarly aged to the OP. Your 12 year old can babysit for other families, FFS! He/she can watch a sibling for 20 minutes while you run an errand. My 12-year-old will babysit while DH and I grab a quick dinner nearby. We pay him $12/hour for that. I do not pay him if I’m running out for 20 mins and his siblings are literally on their iPads. I do an incredible amount of stuff for all my kids. Hours and hours and hours of work. And they lead very privileged lives, with piano lessons and expensive sports teams and iPads and xboxes. When of age, they can help out with keeping the household running. [/quote] It is your obligation to take care of your children but it is not their To give you free childcare. This is who h the eldest child frequently hates younger siblings. [/quote]
