I am the oldest of six and we all had jobs to do. No allowance in our house, just an expectation that you have to pitch in. My weekly job every Saturday was to clean our one bathroom from top to bottom. My daily task was to do the dishes, which was a huge job given the size of our family. If I dared to complain and ask why I had to do these things my mother would say, because I said so. I was 9 years old.
BTW....my dishes are done and my bathroom sparkles! Thanks, Mom!
