(isnt that so not fair)
Depends on how young they are; if they're like toddlers.. you can see why they should get to have fun.
Personally, I clean the house on my own without my parents asking; I just feel like if they work all day for me I can pitch in and clean the house!
How can we correctly determine if it is fair or not just based on this? Chances are it doesn't matter- you live under someone else's roof, you go by their rules whether it is fair or not. You got a problem with it, then you better find your own place.
There's nothing wrong with helping out around the house while others are not. As long as you are taking care of your responsibilities, who cares?
And I'm sure when you were younger you got to have plenty of fun too. Unless you're more specific about the situation, we can only assume that you are living with your parents, who are most likely providing food, shelter, etc for you, and that you should probably just put up with their rules. It may seem unfair to you, but what else can you do? You can do you what you're supposed to do, and then have your own fun. You are not your little sisters, so don't compare yourself to them.
How can we tell you? All we have is the very biased opinion of one person in the situation. The others are right, what ages are you all? That does make a big difference. I'm an eldest sister, my two younger sisters are 16 months and 4 years younger than I am, and we're all very different. When I was 8 I had all sorts of chores to do, and my youngest sister never had to do a thing, but then she would only have been 4. The same kind of thing happened all my life until we were all young adults, but while I was responsible for doing more work than either of my sisters at any one time, I also got a lot more freedom and more perks on the count of my age. I got to do everything new before them, while taking care of them at the same time.
I think you've really over-simplified the situation too. You want sympathy, you want us to tell you it's unfair, and chances are you're just feeling the same kind of frustration all older siblings feel sometimes.
