[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- Wow, what a range of responses! After sticking to my guns for a couple hours, he said he'd make his lunch. (and no I'm not lazy -- I was making dinner, helping other DS with a shower and putting laundry in within the same hour). I was standing there the whole time supervising and helping with ideas. He's more than capable of it and from everything I've read, the more kids have responsibility, the more it builds up their confidence. [/quote] That's great! Please don't listen to these people calling you lazy. Mine made their own lunches starting in early elementary school, and at that age it is much easier to just do it yourself. Having them involved is the opposite of lazy! You're doing great.[/quote]
