THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Do you help out at home?

How do you feel about it?

Darren, 17, Lincoln

I help quite a lot actually, especially at weekends. I sometimes mow the lawn, for example, wash the car or dust the furniture. My mum and dad both work really hard all week, so I think they need a bit of help.

Stacey, 16, London I sometimes help my mum after school. I often take out the rubbish or wash the dishes. It’s not fair though! My brother never helps! He just disappears into his bedroom and lets me do all the work!

Greg, 18, Manchester

To be honest, I don’t usually help much with the housework, I just clean my own bedroom once a week. At the moment I’m doing exams. It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that I never find the time!

Jenny, 18, Scarborough

My mum and dad run a hotel. They are really busy, so I often help to make the beds, cook the breakfast or dust the furniture. I don’t mind at all. Sometimes my parents even pay me!
