I think my mum must be mean! I had to make my own lunch from the day I started school. By 10 I had to do the dishes regularly and if they weren't clean enough mum made me do them again. I was supposed to keep my room clean, but if it got too messy my mum would come in with a rubbish bag and throw away everything on the floor - I stayed in front of her and put away everything I wanted to keep. At 10 I also had to feed the horses and calves every morning, and when the pet cow had her baby I had to hand milk her twice a day too.
