I wonder how many here found, in childhood, that the most important thing in the household, or perhaps even the only thing that mattered in the household, was making a parent happy, or trying to.

This. All of this. Only I was lazy if I didn't get a childhood job and buy what I wanted. What kind of job do you get when you're 7 and live in the boondocks? There wasn't even anyone for me to sell lemonade to! My little kid brain puzzled this one for a while.
