I was also making my own luch for school by then.
When I was ten or younger my list of chores was very long! I got up every morning before school at 5 or 6 ( depending on time of year) and went down fields to bring up cows for milking. Same in evenings when I came home from school. I also had to feed calves and change bedding. On weekends I helped with housework ( hoovering, changing bed linen etc) and also added farm work- picking stones, digging potatoes, making reeks and standing up bales etc etc. Same as most other farm kids I'd imagine.
This weeks list for my 10yr old are......
- finish building the garden wall
- milk the cows daily & clean out the cow shed
- fix the loose roof tiles
- change the oil in the tractor
- finish out his PHD
.... basic stuff really
Can you hire these kids out? After a twelve hour day I'd love a footrub...
Can they make me dinner and open a bottle of wine/beer? Can they make cocktails, run me a bath and change my sheets so I can get into a fresh bed everynight??
I'd be more than willing to pay the going rate of a fiver a week...
Exploitation... why do you think I'm buying a kid off the net?
