At a very young age, especially being a female in a Hispanic
household i was taught how to do many household chores. I was taught to always
clean up after myself and my younger siblings. Learning how to make my bed,
sweep, mop, vacuum, wash the dishes, do laundry, and even cook is very
important to my family. All children should have some type of responsibility at
home so they value their homes and family more. If all a child does all day
after school is eat and play and never clean up after themselves they'll see
their mother or whoever is taking care of them as a maid and will grow up
clueless to all the things you have to do when your parents are not around. In
order to grow up independent your parent must teach you at an early age the
basic responsibilities that you will have to worry about when you're on your
own. Your parents wont always be there for you and most kids nowadays forget
that. As for helping out financially, i believe that at a certain age 18+ you
should already have a job and could chip in on bills if your parents ask you to
or if they seem like they need the help. You shouldn't have to give your whole
paycheck though, you need to start saving up for your future. Sometimes parents
are too prideful to ask for financial help but if you know your parent are
struggling and your have younger siblings, it really is your job to lend a
helping hand. Plus its always a good feeling to know you are helpful to the people
who took care of you your entire life, it feels good to give back.
