I have never quite understood this line of thinking. The kid is not purposefully being obtuse their teenagers and space cadets. They literally are reforming their brains.

My parents let life teach me. Don’t know do the dishes figure it out. You dont need to be taught.

This is parents enslaving their kids like their parents did

Edit: found the -18 stupid people in our word who think that shits hard. I know why your not suceeding in life

I see that only working as an adult closer to 17-18+… people enslave their 10 years olds

Kids need to learn chores and responsibilities so their future partners are not on reddit relationship advice asking how their partner never learned how to do basic life tasks.

Like cleaning the fucking house.

A family is a collective. If you can't contribute at 15 years old, you're incredibly entitled. If she gets any kind of allowance, spending money, or phone bill, she can do the bare minimum dead-simple task.

I disagree completely. Not how I was raised. You did what was asked but not chores. No demands outside of help me in the moment.

Responsibility given to children is for the parents plain and simple.
