       You will have a stronger work ethic than others, be more intelligent, possibly be accepted into more prestigious colleges, be able to take care of the animals, whatever it is, because of the work that your parents guided you to do as a child. That’s the beautiful thing. Even if God doesn’t necessarily have it in his plan that you do the same kinds of things your parents did, he can use whatever obedience you demonstrated toward other things. Besides, in general, doing what the parents want cultivates an obedient attitude when dealing with teachers or bosses, dealing with those in the outside world. It makes God happy as, after all, the last thing a father needs is to work hard during the day, and then to come home to children who are uncooperative, who won’t do what he says. The last thing a mother needs is to give her time toward the children only to have them disrespect her, and not treat her fairly when what she does is for the children’s good, for their best interests.
