Some children cannot understand how much work it takes to run a household.? In my opinion, I think it is the parents’ own fault. Let's speculate what makes them think so.
Firstly, mothers and fathers do not show their kids what they do for a job at home. They do everything themselves when kids are not at home. Thus, children don't know who cleans their house and puts everything in its place.
Secondly, a lot of nuclear families love their sons and daughters very much and do not give any housework to help their parents. They protect their kids in everything and everywhere, to bring all jobs to themselves. That’s why children do not know anything about households.
Finally, there are different families which think that children cannot do housework better than adults. They do not believe them, thinking they are too small and incompetent for such a hard job. As a result, children grow up not knowing anything about the household.
To sum up, I feel strongly that kids do not know anything about a household because in their family mothers and fathers do not show their work at home. Furthermore, they do not give them any housework. As a result, children do not know how much work it takes to run a household.
