I had to do chores when I was a kid. Sure I knew kids who didn't have to lift a finger and their parents gave them money...Difference now is that they think they deserve a high paying job without working and can't believe how much I get paid...cause I WORK!!!
My parents taught me that I have to work hard to make good money...go figure!
As far as being "fair" - lifes not fair...I got used to it.
