No, its not grandma who is at fault here, it is the kid who has learned a useful talent called “learned helplessness.” This is the technique of someone who outwardly acts willing to do an certain task, but then proceeds to do it so poorly that they are relieved of that duty. Eventually, they end up doing nothing, which was the whole objective.
