Why would any rational parent force a child to gut a fish if that clearly upset or grossed out the child?

Because letting a child out of something just because it upsets them is the wrong life lesson.

When I was in my teens I had to clean a gas station restroom nightly. It upset me and it was gross. I still had to do it or I would not get paid. If I did not get paid I would be sleeping under a bridge and fishing for my supper.

So I cleaned the restroom.

That is the way life is.

Re: "I had to clean a gas station restroom nightly."

Yeah, because someone paid you to do it.

The Father and daughter can negotiate a payment for learning how to gut a fish.

The daughter would settle on some dollar number, and she would also gain essential life time negotiating skills.

Fish gutting skills?

She will probably never use them again.
