[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was very much the “pitch in” kind, but what it really meant is that I couldn’t predict how my time would go. I’d work hard to get ahead on HW so I could meet a friend or watch a certain show and she would decide that night was the night it was my turn to do the dishes. There was no reward for organizing my time, no ability to plan. So, I try to do things differently with my kids.[/quote] That sounds so rough! And it's a good thing to remember to avoid. I try hard to be thoughtful of what else is going on in everyone's lives -- just like some nights DH has somewhere to be and can't help clean up from dinner, sometimes a kid has a prior commitment. -- OP[/quote]
