This whole moshol is so flawed i don’t know where to start.
Almost every teenager doesn’t like to help and gives every excuse possible. What is not written is if the other children are helping or is the work done by the mother or cleaning lady. All it says is “he objects to doing any chores he wont take out the garbage or clear the table or get the clothes from the dryer he pretty much refuses to do anything to help the family.”
In the secular world, if a student is an ‘honor student’ do they get any special privileges? scholarships? and what not?
Most of all, what is the mothers attitude? Is she happy with her choice school? Does she really want him to turn out a Talmid chacham or not? Because that sets the tone in the house for the rest of the children. If she values her choice of school and is happy he is that way, the other children will either emulate him to the best of their ability or at least respect him for what he is. But definitely they wont scream not fair – that is not a torah attitude. This mother is setting the wrong tone.
It’s really hard to imagine a good learning boy will demand a raise in allowance when his siblings (his age or older) are not getting. Why is he asking for later curfew? is he out learning at that time? That is what typical 14 yr olds do
Why is it not a Torah attitude for the other kids to think it’s unfair? Normal child behavior includes noticing and pointing out unfairness.
And the scenario described actually happened.
