[quote=Anonymous]The idea that childhood means no work and all play is cultural. Kids learn to be responsible by taking on responsibility. Babysitting younger siblings has been happening since the beginning of time and it is only modern day urban rich who now feel that is oppression. Still out on farms and in rural areas, kids help out. I was one of 6 and yes I did lots of babysitting but it was never a bad thing. In our family being part of the family meant contributing whether you were child or adult. I really couldn't have been all that bad as various teens lived with us by choice when their own family situations were bad and yes they were expected to take on responsibilities as a family member, including helping with other kids.[/quote]
