I agree it isn't an age thing exactly. My DD who is 16 I think is already more responsible than her brother who is 24. She is like her dad and I, always to work early etc. My son is always late (wasn't raised that way). My daughter when it comes to a job will go above and beyond, DS just gets by. Not saying my son is horrible, because he isn't but you wouldn't think they were siblings as different as they are. Some of it is taught, but some of it comes from I don't know where.

I got married at 17 the first time had my son at 18 and grew up pretty fast! My ex still acts like an overgrown child.
