Poor kid. I hear stories like this and it makes me want to call my mom and dad to thank them for being hard-asses when I was growing up. 11 years old? You are now learning how to cook, clean and do laundry. 13? Time to get a job mowing lawns/paper route/something to bring in money. 18? Out of the house. If they did this now someone would probably want them in jail for child abuse.
