We occasionally ask our older son to look after the younger, but it's rare and it's always in a safe place where he basically has nothing to do! We do think there's importance in actively taking care of others, BUT i was an oldest child and still deal with resentment over becoming afather figure to my brother and sister, something I never asked for or was up for. So I applaud the respect you're showing your daughter! I like that.
