Re:How to get kids to do chores: Does the Maya method work? ... by furtive808 on Sunday April 03, 2022 @10:19AM (#30897108)
This can also be learned later in life. As a teen I didn’t help much or complained and expected compensation for chores. When I joined the army you were expected to always pitch in, and there were no janitors, so you’re always cleaning and maintaining things yourself. Fast forward 25 years and I’ll be the first to volunteer to do dishes, will see a floor or vacuum without asking, and always willing to pitch in on a hard, physical task without hesitation.

Imagine you without that army training. Most humans don't go through one. Or a training that prefers slackers, pretenders, intense drinking/smoking, bullying (ie Russian style is exactly this and it shows when SHTF).

Its simply better for given person and society overall to learn these things as a kid, learning gets harder as we age and this is no different.
