Diary entry 2 - Is Independence good tho?

So I was doing my job and I saw a dad with 2 young girls, both around the same age as the girls from yesterday, but these were acting a lot more childish. Where the 3 girls from yesterday acted very mature even tho these all are around the same ages. In my blog from yesterday I praised the girls for their independence but now seeing these girls getting to be childish like they're supposed to be at this age, does this Independence take away from their childhood? Does it force kids here to grow up too fast? After some thinking, I came to the conclusion that that was not true, it's responsibility that robs children of their childhood. Kids doing some groceries, that's fine. Kids being responsible for the groceries for the household or so that they themselves eat, not okay. A bit or responsibility is fine, of course, a kid is after all mostly responsible for its own actions. And giving a kid small responsibilities is also fine, things like chores. Things that they should learn to do in a routine, but it's not the end of the world if they forget or do it a bit later. But some kids get way harder responsibilities that do not fit a kid, like I said, kids getting the responsibility of providing food for the household or even just for themselves, kids needing to get medicine for sick parents, or at all having the responsibility to care for a sick parent. But I feel like the most common and most overlooked one is giving the oldest kids responsibility over the other siblings. This could be fine if it's for a short time, like when they are babysitting for an evening, or if they take the other sibling somewhere. But if this is a more long term thing or for some even a "normal" daily thing then it becomes a problem. And that kid is forced to grow up too fast. 

Some backstory about my job, So I have only had this job for 2 weeks now XDI work only in the vegetable department or AGF as it's called. It stands for Aardappelen Groenten Fruit, which translated is Potatoes Vegetables Fruit. So it's a lot of heavy lifting, and it's very cold, always 16 degrees (60 Fahrenheit) at our part of the store. And in the glass cooling walls, it 1 degrees (33 Fahrenheit). So to be in there with your hands all day can get a bit cold. I'm trying to work my way up to the "Kitchen department" that's the part of the store where they make fresh sushi, pizza's, salads and other things.
