I'm not saying it's right or wrong to do or not what you want. I'm saying that questioning such thing is okay. There's no physics or natural law that dictates it has to be this way. This is the life we have built. Nothing to do with my personal experience running a household, work or ability to operate as an adult. But questioning stuff is just part of critical thinking.

> There's no physics or natural law that dictates it has to be this way. Yes there is: At a very basic level, humans need to eat food to live. If nobody wanted to do the work necessary to procure food, everyone would starve. Maybe at some point in the near-ish future we will have automated away all unpleasant-but-necessary tasks, but that day is not today, and when it does arrive, it will be a new development for our species. Until then, being a responsible adult will involve at least some modicum of doing-things-that-one-doesn't-want-to-do and it makes sense to prepare children for that eventuality.
