    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.
