Sounds to me like the kids won... they drove their parents out. If I'd tried to pull anything like that growing up, it wouldn't have been my parents' butts out on the front lawn... it would have been mine!
<disclaimer>not a mother</disclaimer> Kids have to learn responsibility. Start when they're little, with some simple age-appropriate chores like putting their toys away when they're done playing with them. Work up to bigger chores like setting the table, doing the dishes, putting out the trash. This way, they grow up knowing that they are part of a household and there are things they have to do in order to keep that household running smoothly.
