    You folk are all good people, but like I tell my almost 6 year old, you gotta do you chores whether you want to or not. They just gotta get done.

    Not doing them once or twice makes it about 6 times worse. You just gotta do it.

          How will your daughter do the chores once she lives alone and you are not around?

              Most parents think so and yet the meme is upvoted. What gives you the confidence that she will be capable?

                What makes you suspect that people up voting a) agree with the sentiment rather than just finding it to be a good/entertaining fit for a memes community, and b) that those people include a representative sample of parents?

                Sounds like sealioning to me.

                  a) It is entertaining because it reflects reality

                  b) They don’t because if they were I couldn’t assume that most parents would assume that their children will become capable of doing chores.

                  Sounds like sealioning to me.

                  Maybe. I just wanted to see if you had put some thoughts to it.
