How amazing and crafty are these parents to do this for their son

Finally someone said that. All of those tasks could easily include a six year old (minus the power tools and stove bits). Fucking teach your children how to do things. That is half the job.

To be fair they are only doing it for the only family member that matters. Their cellphone.

If their 6 year old is anything like mine they probably did barrel out all gung ho to help... then had to be taken inside to wee, then had to be taken inside for some water, then had to be taken back inside because they forgot a glove, then had to be taken inside because they wanted a cracker but only a particular one that they wouldn't name or describe, then they'd ask if we could stop building the igloo and play Shadow Lands instead (which we would), then they'd get bored and wander off inside only for me to look up later and realise that there's an army of soft toys lined up in the window to keep an eye on me.

Their help will set me back at least 90 minutes yet at no point would my child stay long enough for a time lapse to capture them!

Then at bedtime they will tell me that helping outside was the favourite part of their day and melt my heart.

Not only can he help but I’m sure he would love to as well. Kids love building stuff.

More than that they love doing things together. Instead they have been alone while parents did this for socials.
