My 17 year old daughter is amazing. She loves the babies as much as I do, and happily helps with all things daycare related. She will even dump the diaper genie if it's full. I can't believe how I lucked out with her. I usually pay her around $25 a week, because I want to, not because she expects it.

My 14 year old son on the other hand, wants nothing to do with the babies or daycare. He will help bring in the groceries, but deliberately lets someone else bring in the daycare bags. It got to the point that it's not worth the argument. So, I make him do extra chores around the house that have nothing to do with the daycare.
