It seems there are two children in the family, and as a result, they may not have developed the habit of listening from a young age. They tend to get irritated when instructions or information are not immediately communicated to them. In today's scenario, children often receive significant pampering, making them less receptive to parental irritation. It's a delicate balance for parents to manage.
