[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are on vacation and I asked my 12 year old nephew to help with dinner. He wasn't doing anything important at the time. He looked at me like I was nuts and said he would. It was a simple task, getting the corn silks off of ears of corn. His grandmother asked his mom what he was doing and she said, "helping with dinner." This was the one and only time all wee that he was asked to do anything. I just asked him because he was there and thought he might like the idea of helping. He seemed to. The two of them just shot me looks that could kill. Shouldn't children be included in dinner prep? I don't have a child of that age, but I remember setting the table, making salads, etc. Was I out of line?[/quote] We get it. You think kids today are coddled. You're not wrong. What was your tone when you asked? Was it inviting or more of an order?[/quote]
