[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - I work full time. I feel like a glorified maid, driver and chef for my kids. I just want them to figure it out themselves. [/quote] I’m sorry! I make my kids do their own laundry. Including bed sheets. They start at age 9. Around the same time they have to make dinner once a week. Even if it is just peanut butter sandwiches. Seriously. My son now makes pretty normal meals. Sometimes we get off track, but it is certainly part of the routine now. They do the garbage as well. When I clean the bathrooms they have to help me and eventually I’ll stop doing that! Do less activities. I also encourage car pools. That helps tremendously. My kids do not have to like the other kids, it just helps me. I do not go to all sorts games or whatever. I take turns with my husband. We both will go to last games or big games only.[/quote]
