kids that age don't want to "clean or do chores" so make a game out of it.. like cleaning room. see who can pick up the most toys the fastest.. just keep it fun and they will help out more..and i don't know how old you are but it helps parents out when you can pick up after yourself and if they both work it's always nice to come home and not have to do the dishes.

My kids are 9 and 11. They each have a chore chart. I let them select some chores themselves and some I assign or rotate based on their abilities or like/dislike of the task. It works on a points/reward system. If the chore gets done, they earn a certain amount of points for it depending on what it is. If it's not done, no points. If they had to be asked once, I cut them a break but if I've had to ask more than once, no points and they still have to do it. Anyway, they choose a reward up front and we decide how many points the reward will be worth and then they work towards earning the reward. There's a lot of websites out there with info about chores but here's a link for one that I found helpful. It has a link for age-appropriate chores and age-approprite rewards as well. Hopefully you and your parents can find this useful and rewarding. Good luck

I know it stinks bein the oldest sometimes, maybe if you try to do your best with what your parents give you to do, and Have a good attitude about it, they will listen to you more and require more out of your little brother and sister. But if you have a bad attitude you'll probably end up doin even more...Attitude is everything. Hoping your parents put the extra effort into your siblings so that they understand it's not right for them not to do their share. you do whats right, you'll be rewarded.

Every child in the house should have age appropriate chores. Tell your parents you feel that because you are older you have to do everything, list things your siblings could do that you do now. Tell them you need help and that they need some responsibilities to help them feel part of the family. Good luck!
