[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends. I will sometimes make the kids breakfast even though, at 12, 15 and 16, they are more than capable of doing it themselves. I generally do their laundry. I make the 16 year olds lunch every school day... I'm up anyway and she's rushing around to get ready. She knows how to do it, obviously. The other two are homeschooled so no lunches to pack. But sometimes they clean bathrooms, throw in a load of towels, wash dishes, make lunch for everyone, etc. [b]I will also ask them to make me a cup of tea[/b], go grab me something out of another room, and so on. As long as they know how to do things, I not opposed to doing things for them. It's just part of being a family, imo. [/quote] You just made me remember the first time DS made me a cup of tea! It was completely unprompted. I love the sound of your situation. "It's just part of being a family." So reciprocal and natural. It gives me hope that 12, 15, and 16 will be a welcome time!! [/quote]
