The OP didn’t clarify if there’re siblings changing the context. “Child abuse”(metaphorically) might be related to special treatment.

DD8 cleans her own bathroom once weekly and I check behind her work. It helps her to keep it clean during the week because she’s more invested in its upkeep. At 13 she should be doing laundry.

Your 10 and 12 year olds each have their own personal bathroom?
Not PP but yes, some people have large homes.
