my dad was like this with me growing up  from the age of ten he would force me to work with him on construction sites to teach me good work ethic and consisted of full summers of me doing little more than carrying things organizing waste into organized piles and sweeping floors floor hours on end when i had nothing better to do   it would have been one thing if maybe i went out there to learn how to do some of the more technically challenging stuff but being a gopher who maybe gets to cut a piece of wood or two occasionally was absolutely horrible for me i hated every single day  imagine growing up knowing all your friends were out at summer camps and hanging out together but you were working with your impatient dad everyday instead
