    Most parents think so and yet the meme is upvoted. What gives you the confidence that she will be capable?

      What makes you suspect that people up voting a) agree with the sentiment rather than just finding it to be a good/entertaining fit for a memes community, and b) that those people include a representative sample of parents?

      Sounds like sealioning to me.

        a) It is entertaining because it reflects reality

        b) They don’t because if they were I couldn’t assume that most parents would assume that their children will become capable of doing chores.

        Sounds like sealioning to me.
