Only a few are swinging the lead like that, most of them get their head down. Once they get shown that faking an illness won't get them out of the chores they get with the programme. They don't mollycoddle their kids, which is one of the reasons they own just about everything else these days. And they still find time to respect their parents and family.

You should prolly add "age-appropriate" in front of "chores" to make your point clearer? When I was a little kid, I wasn't expected to do the dishes, but I did play/pretend to do so, in one side of the sink, as one of my parents was washing them for real in the other side. Or the "everything has a home" game where the kids are encouraged to pick up their toys after they're done playing (or have the kid "show" the parent where the toy goes, if they're really young).

Not forced labour, just teaching them how to get along in the world, in an age-appropriate way.

Seconding this. I mean, it's not as if telling a kid to take twenty minutes out of their hours of playtime to fold the laundry or sweep the floor is somehow hindering their childhood. As kids get older, they need to take on more responsibilities - school, work, and chores at home.

I mean, I don't think anyone would consider it reasonable to be doing the dishes, the laundry, the mopping/vacuuming, and the cooking if you're 5. That is a little overbearing if they're 15, but often understandable depending on family circumstances. And that is something that seems pretty reasonable to expect out of a 25 year old still living at home, especially if they don't work/aren't contributing to the household financially.
