Looking back these are just some of the things I now realise I took for granted and have has a realization of how little responsible I was for everyday basic things. Being brought up as the oldest child I have defiantly been given more responsibly as I have grown really from when my younger sibling was born by just been given basic tasks such as helping around the house. But been giving small responsibilities at a young age that really a bad thing? Personally I don’t think it has done me any harm and has helped prepare me for future (for example meeting deadlines).
