Well if your bad for making your 13 & 10 yr olds do chores, I must really be a bad mummy. My 7 & 5 yr olds have to make their beds clean their rooms and clean up outside whenever they are finished for the day, as well as take rubbish out to the wheelie bin.
I think it's teaching them to be independant and self reliant, as they get older they will get more chores, I think it's only fair. I also think the larger the family the more the older children are needed to help out around the house.
