That doesn't appear to be an effect of doing chores. That's just you. It's also an example of your parents trying to satisfy their ethical obligations to you, and you refusing.
My own kids are mounting a rebellion against chores. They still think I'm a maid, which makes me laugh all the way down to my scrotum as I start a burn pile for anything they refuse to pick up. Threw a kindle in there once and the tears were delicious - never seen a device left out again. My oldest boy and youngest daughter prefer to work with me outside rather than cleaning the house or baking cakes - an organic division of labor is taking shape. They're young....though... kindof hope you're further along in becoming a human being?
So, heres the q, ahri - if we're entertaining this as more than a shitpost, and you're willing to maintain that your own parents were in some way ethically deficient for the circumstances or outcome of your life - we have to wonder what's different about your upbringing relevant to mine, an example of parents meeting and exceeding the very obligation you insist on.
So, what's the shape of that - from where you sit, how did your parents fail and leave you a failure while mine succeeded and made me a success?
