What Does Your Typical Daily Activities Look Like?

Everyday your parents must do so many house chores that perhaps they often ask you to help
them do the house chores. Do you follow your parents at once or take some time before you do
what they ask? Obeying our parents in goodness is a form of morality to human and religiousness.
