Put your kids at work at home. My kids always helped already at 2 years old. Laundry, dishes, cleaning, garden, dogs, shopping, eahing the car, yaling care of the garbage etc etc. They never complained about going to school. They are happy if they have some time to sit and do what they like. It is not a first world problem but a raising problem. None of my 5 children complain. They are all caring and attentive and will take care of eachother. They probably find other children spoiled to death too (actually they do and they find them annoying too). What you raise will be the future. Lazy, complaining people who take everything for granted and can handle or repair nothing themselves. Big wasters and that behaviour we see in every world. If you think the 3rd world is more grateful you are wrong. They even are more greedy and demanding and are not happy with the small things in life. That is domething preached in the 1st world, words I am raised with.
