Things you wish you could say

Dare I ask the you have a "smartphone"?
Used the camera. Have a calendar on the fridge with each siblings name on corresponding day for chickens feed/water duty.
On the days they have duty you take a pic (once or twice a day?) And share with parents when you have to feed/water them because the Sibley is neglecting them and you don't want them to starve or worse, die.

Key thing here is document. No Whining! Just the facts. AND if a sibling actually starts to do it right and thoughtfully the pictures documenting them become positive reinforcement when you can then show parents who is finally stepping up to their responsibility....

I tell them to feed/water them and if I took pictures and showed them to my parents they would tell me to stop tattletailing.

Oh yeah also when parents say “you can tell me anything” and then tell you to stop tattletailing.

Then get offline and feed the birds. It honestly just sounds like excuses now to not have to feed and water them even if it's not "your day"

This is the thread to say things (like complaints) that shouldn't be said elsewhere. Sometimes people in this thread are just complaining because complaining feels good, even if it doesn't fix the problem.

@Nero70002 I don't have any ideas for you, but I agree it's pretty frustrating when you're stuck in a situation with no good choices.

Yes yes, apologies. Suppose I'm just getting irritated since it's something my own brother would pull as a child, leaving me in their shoes.

I’m not laughing at you, but I remember the frustration as well. I just had to laugh.

Holy Chrome, dummy. Just because no one has given you the answer that you want to hear, that doesn't mean that we're all idiots or being like immature, bullying high schoolers.
