I was cuttin and splittin at about 9 or 10. I had to my Dad was recovering from his first open heart surgery. I grew up in weeks when that happened. My Mom was more than willing to step up and do it but I was set on her seeing to Dad and I'd be the "man of the house". I learned how to plow snow, cut wood, chop kindling, back that friggin 4 wheel trailer from hell, plow the garden and a million other things and don't regret doing any of it. I think we let and/or force our kids to stay kids too long then just expect them to wake up one day and be adults. It may be dangerous but that kid is going to the over protective parents kids' boss someday.
