Should teenagers that do not contribute financially to a household have a say in house rules?

If a teen doesn’t work to bring money into the home, (or support the working parents by doing housework or watching siblings while parents work), have a right to have input as to how the house is run and the rules set by the parents?

Do teens that don’t work or help around the house have the right to ask for money from the parents for luxury items, such as Ipods or video games or money just to hang out with friends with?

Do you think being a stay at home mom is harder than a job in the workforce?

My husband sometimes says that being a mom is really easy and i dont think so. Its 25 hrs a day i dont even get to take ashower by myself because my hubby says its my job.Every once in ablue moon he will do it and he never watches my son so i can have a break i have to ask my mom to do it sometimes i wish i had the luxury of just doing whatever the hell i want like him. He takes off all the time. But then i look at thomas and realize what i have with him is so much more special than freedom. I just wish i could stop being so frustrated with his dad and get more help But how?
