Re: Household activities/chores
^ gaaaah!! I am so jealous somegroovychick!! You picked the cream of the crop, eh? heheheee... good for you girl. I love my baby, but that's exactly what he is, a baby. His momma (a wonderful woman, mind you) completely spoiled this boy, and now it's an uphill battle trying to undo a lifetime of taking being waited on hand and foot. I don't want my boys OR girls growing up this way, so I force my hubby to help. Yeah I could let it go, but then my kids will see it and not do their chores either, thinking "oh mommy's gonna do my laundry, clean my room, etc etc. NOT the example I want to set or a future I want to expect.
Sara, I do agree, if the husband is working and the wife is home taking care of the house, then obviously the responsibilities have been divided. He works and pays the bills, she cooks and cleans. That I think is acceptable. My point was that what is not acceptable and understandable, is when BOTH husband and wife work, and then he comes home and says "Where's my dinner, why is the house a mess?" That's when you hand him the frying pan (personally I'd whack them first) and tell him to make his own dinner.
