I grew up in a house that was really, really dirty and in which my mom, my sister and I spent a lot of time avoiding chores. I think the unacknowledged conspiracy with the adult (in this case, my mom) seemed to reinforce the ignoring of chores (at least until my dad completely lost it at which time I would do the specific chore he was freaking out about before returning to doing nothing).
To this day, I don't know why we avoided doing anything. It just all seemed so overwhelming.
