Remember this: Hard work at a young age is a very good thing for the following reasons, it builds character, you learn that nothing is free, and hard work produces a profit, you get paid for it. Even if your dad is not paying you in money you do get to live in HIS house and eat the food HE buys. I learned from an early age that hard work is good, I was cutting grass at 11 years old making $40/week, (with a push mower) that was 25 years ago. I shoveled snow on the snow days that I had off from school. Some kids today dont have to do anything, and grow up thinking that the world is given to you if you go to college. As far as your brother is concerned, I would recommend that you put in a few hard days work and make sure that your dad sees it. Then approach your dad honestly and say hey why doesnt my brother do as much as me. Also remember that if the neighbors see you working hard they may want you to do work for them and pay you.
