Re: age of independence
My daughter was not a 5-year-old then, we started having au-pairs when she was 7. She has a wicked sense of humor. No, I wouldn't tell my 5-year-old to cook dinner.

What kinds of "errands" would a 5-year-old actually be capable of performing, anyway?

I mean, it's not like you could tell them to go cook dinner, or something.
