Yep. They do. 

We must all have heard stories of our parents apparent struggles during their childhood when they were assigned household chores. While some of us would definitely call that bull****, the truth is a different story altogether. What the older generations took for granted, has actually gone out of favour now. You would see a kid with an iPhone, rather than a grocery list. And that has somewhat contributed to the detriment in a kid’s progress.
