There is nothing with doing house Chore's dude. I think it's different when both your parent's are working, atleast in my family that was the case. My father use to Cut the Lawn and buy Groceries as long as i can remember until i took over Mowing the Lawn. I was an only child for the first 6 year's of my parent's marriage and i actually remember my dad babysitting me more than my mom. Back in Africa you are raised by extended family but here it isnt the case so thing's have changed.
