Reverence is important, but education is moreso. To those who have "made it" for the first time (i.e. the first generation to be "comfortable"), often, the belief is that the kids shouldn't have to do what the older generation went through. I am sure the Nakamura kids have their own responsibilities, such as keeping their own space clean, but other forms of housework might be considered a "no-no".
