We don’t like to be told what to do, especially when it comes to doing something we have no interest in such as house chores. And when we don’t, our parents will nag incessantly at us.
Unfortunately, a woman who was unable to control her temper totally lost it and found herself injuring her son with a knife due to his refusal to help around the house.
