16-year-old eldest daughter refuses to babysit 7 younger siblings without proper payment, parents claim they pay her enough by providing shelter, food, and clothes: ‘That is all you need’

Do you think kids should always be rewarded for helping their parents around the house? Or is it a requirement, since they live under their parents' roof, to pull their weight?

If your answer is both, then we are on the same page. Some chores should be a mandatory obligation kids simply take part in around the house, while other tasks can be rewarded with money or perks, to keep the kids motivated and content. However, just because we agree doesn't mean that every parent is there along with us. Some parents demand a lot of their children without giving them anything in return, because they believe that is the only way their kids can repay their parents for taking care of them.

That is exactly what happened in the story below. This 16-year-old daughter is babysitting her 7 younger children every single day while her dad works and her mom goes out. One day, she decided she was not going to do it without getting properly paid for it by her parents. They, on the other hand, claim it is her duty to babysit her siblings, and that they pay her enough by putting a roof over her head.
