To ask if your brother/brothers had to help round the house when you were growing up?ere

I was the eldest by 8yrs my youngest brother and sister never did a thing because they were too young, my closest sibling a sister was too smart to waste her time cleaning or cooking, she was a grammer school student and I was comprehensive so it was all on me.

My brothers are older than me so I can't remember them before they were about 15yo. That was in mid 1970s.
They had gardening and cleaning duties (done for free)
When they were 18, my parents paid them to do large DIY project and they were paid to do many years of personal care for our grandfather when they were in their 20s.

Only have brothers and they were never asked but I was always asked to set the table, help with dishes and help my mum with meals if we had family over. It really annoyed me and I would regularly point out the unfairness in it all.
At our family Christmas get together only myself helped my mum, my brothers sat with their wives enjoying the meal. I wasn’t asked to help but as a mum myself I could see my own mum getting tired and rushing about so it was kind to help but it did make me think about how my brothers wouldn’t think of helping because they were never asked/ told to growing up.

I have a sister and a brother, none of us did anything tbh. The only time we had chores was when my mum had an operation and we shared out all the jobs between us and my stepdad for a few weeks while she recovered.

No. But neither did I. My mum was of the view that we had our whole adult lives to do chores. None of us grew up inept either. My brother in particular has always been very fastidious with housework.

Yep, we had jobs that had to be done every week, as well as our own rooms. We alternated toilet/bathroom, took turns taking the rubbish out, washing up / drying up was alternated, etc etc.

But then my mum and dad both took care of household tasks fairly equally.

No I also was the only one who paid rent and my brothers were well paid whereas I wasn’t . We are no contact now

Yes, both of my brothers.

For reference they're now 58 and 68 years old.

Then again, my dad always chipped in with the housework too even though my mum never worked.

No mine didn’t. I remember being shouted at on a regular basis for not helping enough around the house. I used to have to polish, wash the dishes and clean the bathrooms from about 11-12 years old. Was cooking family meals from 14-15 but pretty sure he didn’t have to do anything other than bring his cups/glasses down from his bedroom and put his dirty washing in the washing basket. To be fair he’s not lazy now as an adult but I don’t think he was ever given a list of chores.

Yes, both my brothers had chores too.

4 brothers and 1 sister. Myself and my sister did more cooking ( because we enjoyed it ) but the boys did their share of dishes, vacuuming, laundry etc. Pretty equal although they definitely did way more gardening

Ha. No.

I always did more than my step brother. My Mum stopped ironing my stuff when I was 11. Was still ironing for my step brother then he came back home after the break up of his first marriage in his 20s.

Family of two boys and two girls and we all did the same chores. Also all taught to cook, clean, sew and knit, gardening etc.

I had to help with the cleaning and cooking, setting the table etc. My brother vacuumed one time, when he was an adult visiting home and my dad made fun of him for it.

My brother did have to help my dad with his endless DIY projects though which to be honest I had a lucky escape from.
