>it makes no sense to have one-way streets of legal responsibility.

That seems to be a very flawed argument.

I am perfectly fine with parents having a legal responsibility to take care of their children without the children owing any legal obligation to their parents.

Imagine being required by law to act in the interests of your financial adviser. It would almost be codifying the reality.

They do a have a legal obligation though. Otherwise chores would be unpaid child labor.
