Well, if Baldo doesn’t think carrying the garbage out is a good idea perhaps he should be allowed to store it in his room. He might be able to co-exist with the bags for a little while, but I suspect he’d eventually experience a cultural epiphany.
Or, if he doesn’t like to help around the house, he can get the hell out and find a “better” place to live, one that doesn’t require taking out the trash.
Been married 43 years. Only time husband had taken out the garbage was if I was too sick to do so – until Covid started. Suddenly he not only started taking out the garbage (and refusing to let me do so), but he suddenly actually knew what days the garbage had to go out (and same for recycling). I am pretty sure (at almost 70) it is not that he knows I am pregnant and I don’t. :-) Why has he started doing this?
He has become so terrified of losing me to anything – Covid has made us more mortal apparently – that he wants to protect me from whatever he can. It is rather sweet – especially since I know it is not a question of worrying about where our money is kept, something he did not know – no matter how often over the decades I pointed out our bank every time we drove past – until he quit his job and is home with all day, every day, and actually went into the bank with me.
Baldo should be old enough to realize that these aren’t chores, just a part of what people do to keep the home livable and that it certainly shouldn’t be only the grown-ups’ work.

America hasn’t had a 5-star general since Omar Bradley died in 1981!

That’s right, Baldo.

The father should tell Baldo that HE doesn’t like the chore of having to feed him, clothe him, (and wash said clothes) , and provide shelter for him!

Providing food for children is also a choice.

And on the same side! C’mon, you KNOW taking out the trash is good, you just don’t want to be the one to do the work.
