I absolutely hated chores as a teenager, and this was essentially the parenting I got. I got kicked out on my 17th birthday because I didn't have a job. It was crap, but it was the real world. I had 12 different roomates throughout college and I discovered that most of them had zero household skills. They couldn't cook, clean, do laundry or balance a checkbook. I do debate though what I would have become had I had supportive parents like my wife did. I learned how to hustle. If I wanted something I had to just get it myself. My senior year of high school I was working overnights at a packing house to pay for gas and insurance and food. I wouldn't want my future kids to go through that. I missed out on prom, I missed out on being a football player, and I missed out on a lot of good opportunities. Life is hard, the sooner you figure it out and the sooner you accept it the better.
