Jimmy doesn't have to do the dishes after dinner, but I 8. Jimmy is 7 years old now. I think he can do a lot of things 9 me. It's my job to clean the kitchen, 10. After school, Jimmy and Oliver can play outside with our grandparents, 11 I can't. I must do my homework and 12 our dog. My grandparents always ask me to buy newspapers for them when I'm free. Am I free? No! I'm 13. I can only watch TV on Saturday nights for an hour. "Don't be 14! Don't fight with your little brothers!" my mum always says. It usually takes me two hours to do the housework every day. 15, I can read books before sleep.
I know I should understand my mum after my father lost his life in a car accident last year. But I need time to relax and study. What can I do, Mr Knowledge?
Yours,
Mike
