not just that kids are asking too much, but there is a simple pleasure one can take in mowing the lawn that they have worked so hard to earn. we slave away at our jobs like mindless drones most of our lives, it is a pleasing and relaxing thing to be able to come home to see what you are working for. that yard we can spend weekends grooming, mowing, planting trees and flowers in... oh, i wish i had my own yard to mow!
