[quote=Anonymous]PS, just posted. DH needs to step back if possible. Get his buy in. Also, start sending your kids into the store to purchase that gallon of milk you are running out to get. Give them the credit card and show them how to do self check out, then let them try on their own. Same goes for pumping gas. Kids generally love that type of activity. Send them up together to buy food at the checkout counter etc. Eventually you will be able to have them prepare simple family meals like boxed mac n cheese and salads for everyone with make your own sundaes - it can be fun and a learning experience. Remember it will often be more work for you but believe me it will be worth every second. Just resist stepping in. Advise only because they can do it all with guidance.[/quote]
