That’s so weird. Even today I try to get as many grocery bags upstairs as I can in one go, because who wants to bother with the back and forth if they don’t have to? There’s an art to managing six bags of heavy groceries across your arms, a relief that I can get all the cold and frozen things put away sooner, and the natural reward of being able to move onto another activity more quickly. I fail to see what’s wrong with being efficient with chores and errands.
Just as an example - when you’re on a limited income and the kid just dropped the eggs and broke all of them because they insisted they weren’t carrying too much but that was the budgeted eggs for the week.
Then you’ll learn why your parents were asking you to do that chore in a specific way.
I wouldn’t call a kid lazy because I think they might break the chickens’ menstrual discharge. I’d let them make the mistake first, and then remind them next time if they kept overdoing it. Kids need to make mistakes, it’s part of growing up and learning.
