[quote=Anonymous]Most of the families onour street have oldest children who are boys.

All of these boys watch their younger siblings and the ones who drive help drive their siblings.

They do household chores just like the girls.  They babysit neighborhood kids just like the girls.

You posters who act like boys don't do anything to help the family unit are outdated, sexist and wrong.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking the 17 year old to drop off her younger siblings if it's on her way and does not interfere with getting to school on time is reasonable. I would consider this to be an age appropriate contribution to the household.

Asking the 17 year old to provide daily after school care is unreasonable. Once or twice a week is okay but not everyday. Doesn't she have after school activities/job/sports? Besides, you chose to have more children, she didn't. Older kids are not free built in baby sitters.

If OP [b]has sons, hopefully she expects the same of them.[/quo[/b]te]

Probably not. But I'm sure she whines about about carrying the emotional load and majority of the housework while contributing to the "why do woman have to do everything!" mantra. [/quote][/quote]
