My kids learned to do it all - they have friends that can't do anything - which is better - my son can do electrical wiring, plumbing, mechanic work, use a chain saw - plow a tractor - build a building - all the things that go on daily on a farm - we have one friend that knows nothing - who do you thing grows up the most secure. Hard work built this country. I'm good with mechanics and can figure out wiring relatively easily, but one thing I won't touch is building something. I wish I had paid more attention to what my dad was doing when I was smaller when he'd have me help build onto his home, I'd like to be able to build onto mine now w/o incurring labor costs. It's an asset to know how to build, especially when it's not your trade. Maybe I'll barter some IT work lol.

Some people should try it they may like it. By the way, today one is an E-6 Navy Corpsman and the other is nationally certified MRI tech. Did not seem to hurt them.

Seems like they did ok - we always worked together and played together. My grandchildren have to work in the garden and they are small.

Maybe so, I have only one more remark - "I want the government to stay out of my life" many generations grew up and built a great nation without government intervention.

It's also none of the Governments business if parents issue chores unless physical abuse is present, Then the law should step in if reported.
