Kids do not know what a sweet deal they have. All kids do is play. All. fucking. day. long. Parents are slaves to playing. And they don't hate it. Little babies have it the best because everyone wants to play with little babies. The only concern of little babies is eating and even then, thats only a concern when they remember that they're hungry!
Then there is school, which is just a place that kids go to for more playing. I don't understand why kids cry on their first day of kindergarten because it is literally a place where you play all the time and maybe nap once in a while. Clearly someone is not explaining the concept to these weepy kids, "you are literally getting sent to a place where there are blocks and paints and dollhouses and books and more then one bathroom where you spend a good portion of the days just having the time of your life". And there are other kids, and even if they are assholes, you can go play with any of the other horde of kids. Kids have never seen so many kids in their lives until they walk into kindergarten. As an only child, I had no clue there were more kids out there than me and the ones on commercials until I went to kindergarten. Also there is music! And gym! And not even the distressing middle-school kind where you always have your period and everyone can see the outline of your training bra through your low-grade uniform shirt and you live in fear of sweating too much in front of other kids (who are actually real live, fully developed assholes by then). Kids gym is just running and jumping and uninhibited sweat.
Kids are completely unaware that there will ever be a time where there are other things to do but play, where you are discouraged from playing randomly with balls. Kids are aware that their parents do not go to school or play, and that their teachers have the job of teacher but thats not a concept that really applies to them. That is for adults, and they are not one of those.
Kids have no idea, man...
