For all Parents on the Board . . .
Do you, parents, expect your kids who help around the house, or do you understand that if you don't ask, you don't get?

My parents ask me to do almost everything and i just stand up and do it because i'm a good girl.
But all the time they moan at me for not doing things like cleaning my room and im like "tell me to do it and ill do it" they don't understand that I can't actually see that my rooms a mess They just expect me to go of my nice comfy chair and clean all the room at my own will.. |

When I was little, I definitely needed to be told or I wouldn't do any of my chores. I think same goes for all the little kids, they just don't realize (or care ) when their room looks like a pigsty.

I never viewed my room as a pigsty but rather having too much stuff and not enough space to put everything in.

Errm... I had no idea that the tea wasn't good anymore... I'm not a witch. And she does have the annoying habit of telling me to clean my room, until my brother gets his crap out of here I won't do it and besides it's my den, not hers But usually, when my mom asks me to do something, I'll do. |

I was raised by OLD parents........not only in age but in attitude as well. I was about 5 when I was taught to sew.....about 8 when I was taught to knit and also to cook. Last edited by Maureen Errant; 12-04-06 at 21:22. |
