Ramona and Stuart are arguing over whether their ten-year-old son

should have certain duties around the home, such as taking out the garbage and

mowing the lawn. Ramona thinks he should. Stuart's response is as follows:

"When I was a kid, a close friend of mine was so busy with household chores

that he could never play with the rest of the guys. He always had a hurt look on

his face then, and as he got older, he became increasingly bitter about it. I vowed

a long time ago that I would never burden my son with duties and responsibilities.

He'll have more than enough of them when he grows up." Evaluate Stuart's

conclusion in light of the chapter.
