Hey Youngster, It was the same deal for me when I was a boy, and a young man too. It made me so angry and confused. I did more and had more responsibility than my brother or my sisters. I was always first and last in line to get a licking too. In my case it was both my parents whom I felt ganged up on me. They always expected more from me and acted like what ever I did it was not good enough. Like you, I thought it was very unfair. Here's the deal dude; pick a good moment, a quiet time, and talk to your Dad, tell him how you feel. Let him know you want to do your part, and more, but you feel singled out for chores, but not for fun. Talk to your Mom too. Ask her advice. It's important that you approach this in a solid, manly way. Its also important that you take it one day at a time in the same sturdy way. As a boy, I really never got it worked out with my folks. But I did know that I was growing up strong and becoming a man. When my siblings were hanging out and whining, I was doing what needed to be done. I was no hero, lots of times I was just a kid trying to do my own thing. Easy for me now to look back and say it was the best thing for me and it really did work out! You need to look forward. See the kind of man and father you want to be and work toward that a little bit every day. Remember, your Dad love's you and is working hard to do his best every day. Take it easy on him, and on you yourself too. It worked out well for me and it will for you too. Jared

I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
