I have four kids, and have NEVER gotten angry at one for doing any kind of chore. I wonder if there's more to this. Did OP pull on the vacuum cleaner cord so that the plug was about to break? Use abrasive cleaner on something that couldn't tolerate it?
It's not really fair to complain that someone doesn't want you to do something, when the real problem is that they don't want you to do a terrible job or damge/break things while you're dong that something.
It was always a bullshit excuse.
