The house chores [which kids grow up accepting ...] make

Hello, everyone,

The house chores kids grow up accepting, albeit unwillingly at times, as part and parcel of part family life make them emotionally and mentally stronger.”

This sentence above has been quoted from our local text for high school students. I think this is made by combining clause A and B below;

  1. The house chores make them emotionally and mentally stronger.
  2. Kids grow up [accepting the house chores, albeit unwillingly at times, as part and parcel

of part family life=an adverbial participle clause].

While I assume this construction might be possible because the second the house chores is located in an unessential clause - an adverbial participle clause, I would appreciate if you let me know if this kind of construction is possible or not.
