Does homework have to get done? Like, really? Growing up, the yard had to be done weekly. I did it, got paid, and I was able to walk to the store and buy shit. Work when done well is gratifying. The way we think about jobs sucks... |

As are hundreds of other things[1] we don't try to indoctrinate[2] our kids with. Work is not special and doesn't make one "whole" more than the other potentially gratifying tasks. I say this as someone who enjoys their current job, but I've worked in other less enjoyable jobs (that incidentally pay less and harsher work environments)
2. Expect children to perform at the same level as fully grown adults, but perhaps with fewer hours
1. Sports, math, games, gardening, sex, most hobbies, repairs, etc.
