Why do kids come up with lame excuses?

i have 4 from 4 to 13 yrs old the older ones always come up with the lamest stories.they say ,im bored i tell them to go outside and play and all they do is say there is nothing to do.i have a big back yard and live sorta in the country and they have outside toys.one kids says thigs like he cant use the crochet kit because its not all there.because they lost the pieces because they didnt put things away when they were done and told to.or you get the got thrown away,which is because they leave the toys in the yard ,its time to mow the lawn and guess what they get chopped up and ruined,why begause they didnt put hem away.or how about they want a bowl cause they cant reach,yet they can reach the icecream in the freezer which is higher up.or they cant find their shoes but know where they stashed last years halloween candy.also cant work washing machine yet can play games on ps2 that are 10 times harder .whats your stories,tell me.

i have 2 kids, and it kills me when they come whining " we have noone to play with" gimme a break, i'm an only child, they at least have each other to play with!
Reply:It's laziness. My parents did this to me, and I hated it, but now I think it's brilliant. If you hear them say "I'm bored" you make them go clean something. The kitchen, the toilet, mop, sweep, whatever. It really motivates them to find something to do for themselves instead of whining.
Reply:im a id and i understand half of it!!. they get bored of the same toys every single time. its much more fun to hang out with other friends.for the ps2 one, well they train there brain to do those hard things plus they like to do it. and when your doing the washer well every kmid hates to do that so we dont do it rite from on accident. for the ice cream thing i dont understand that because i dont even eat ice cream(to much surger) but theres my reason for your stories!!
Reply:because (im 12) we are lazy and bored easily, have u actually tried playing a sport with them?basketball is a good choice or the ones they're into.about the dishwasher thing, why do u think ur making them do it?because YOU dont want to do it.and the bowl and ice cream thing, were lazy and self centered.
