sometimes we dont agree with our parents but we just have to grind our teeth and remmember that they only want the best for us and its their job to produce decent citizens. its really alot of work to be a parent. try to understand them and just write the letter. Youll seethat ultimately it will be for the best

Well, you are part of the family and you have to have some responsibilities also. It's fair of them to expect you to help with dishes and cleaning the bathroom. You do use them, don't you? However, unless you're brother is an infant and can't stand or walk, he should be taught to pick up his own toys. If you don't have time because of schoolwork and/or a work schedule, help your parents come up with different chores or schedule so you can still do your fair share. If you don't have time because you're goofing off, make the time. I'm sure your parents make time when you need (or want) something. Your parents will let you go to a party if you write an apology letter? You're the one not being fair. Suck it up and write the letter. Some kids don't have the option of being able to go to parties. That is a privilege, not a right. You have to earn it. Good luck!

Putting your dishes in the dishwasher is obviously a rule in your house, correct? And cleaning your bathroom? Your chore? I think its very fair for you to be punished for not following rules or doing the chores you're supposed to do. Cleaning up after your brother tho...were you asked to do that or was it just assumed you were supposed to? I don't know about that part but I think you should do what you've been told to do...and if you don't do your punishment letter, its not going to help you. I have to side with your parents on this one. Sorry

It's good that you are realizing at a young age that life is not fair. You'll get this in the work place, too, when you get to that age. How well you deal with it will determine your happiness. If you complain, it will get you nowhere, and you'll STILL have to write that letter and clean the bathroom. If you suck it up and write the letter, and clean the bathroom, then your parents might give you a break later.

Well I guess they have set the rules for you to begin with and somehow you got off the mark and didn't do them. So I would right the apology letter just so I wouldn't be grounded. That way your not stuck at home. But if you like to be grounded then don't write the letter. Really your choice in the matter.Good luck trying to decide.

well let me see...putting dishes in the dishwasher should take like 10 min at the most...5 toys in away=2 min....so you're basically saying you didn't have 12 min to spare. Boy, you must be really busy!! Just write the letter. There's no use in getting all huffed-up about it.

Yea it sucks
so write the letter, ---- then go to you party and enjoy yourself
a tidy room helps you find things easier.
as long as it is you that done the tidying.
If your mom does the tidying, you know she will. Then you come along looking that think you need, that got tidied away., making a bit of a mess, then your mom will be on your back about the mess again.
It is better to tidy yourself, then you will have a better chance to find what you need.
Mind you i can't talk. I'm sitting among a major mess, but i can see some of the floor.
Just write the letter.....

Your parents are just trying to teach you how to be responsible and showing you there's consequences for not following the rules. Usually, when we say "I had no time", it just means we didn't "make the time" to do what we should've done. That's not just kids, it's people in general. We all have to do things that we'd rather not do, that's just part of life. Write the letter, go to the party and have a good time. And learn from the mistake.

i had problems like this with my parents when i was young also.. Now that i have a baby myself, i understand where they were coming from..
Through your teen years it's best to just do everything you're told, no matter how stupid *YOU* think it is.. This is how you build trust and show your maturity.. when there are dishes or trash, don't even wait for your parents to call for you to do your chores...
One day you will move out and have your own house to take care of, your own bills and diapers to change, and you're going to wish you were young again and your biggest problem was being grounded.
*Just open your eyes, parties aren't the most important thing in your life, but your relationship with your parents is.*

I think that you should have put your dishes in the dishwasher, cleaned up those 5 toys, and cleaned your bathroom...
What are you going to do when you get out in the real world, and you need to be responsible???

Why don't you just do as your are told? Your parents are grooming you for adulthood. In your life there will always be someone telling you what to do, from parents to teachers to coaches to bosses. You would be doing yourself a favor to learn to have a better attitude. They're not asking you to dig a ditch or chop firewood or milk the cows and slop the pigs before school. Try to get along with your parents and your teen years will be more enjoyable for you with, yes, more responsibility, but also more rewards!
