Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 3035174, member: 874"] Because working hard at something you enjoy is easier than working at something you don't that still has to get done. Not sure why you included academics in your comment. It's not like doing work around the house exempts a kid from school. The fact that you refer to the expectation of a family member contributing to welfare of the household as "cheap labor" illustrates part of the problem. Not everyone can afford to pay someone to do everything for them. For those that are less than well off, that means putting the work in yourself. When my dad was remodeling a room in the house, repairing the roof, fixing the car, etc. I was there with him. It taught me how to work and how to respect people that have to do physical labor to make ends meet. That is something that is eroding in our society. [/QUOTE]
