Actually my daughter's boyfriend was more than happy to:
change a toilet (twice - one in each bathroom)
repair a masonry wall in the front of our home
clean out the garage
mix mortar when we paved the front and back of the house and do the crappy clean up.
trim the ficus tree, cut up and dispose of branches, leaves etc.... including getting into the dumpster to tamp it down so we could dispose of more yard waste.
He did most of this free of charge, but we paid him on a lot of it because he is having a hard time getting a full-time position. He works for one of the local cities part-time, supervising kids after school, driving buses for senior and youth field trips, chaperone at middle school dances. He is trying to finish college part time - because he is finding out you can't get a good entry level position without a 4 yr. degree (he has his AA degree). All he wants is a full time job that will pay enough so he can move out on his own.
He is 22 yrs old.
There may be some who are spoiled and trashy, but the majority I know are not.
