ok, so mmm has the belgian boy blues..........last night after dinner he actually pointed out that his laundry is ready for me to do.......i was ready for that one........i quickly explained that scw would be showing him how to do his own laundry so that he doesn't have to wait on my schedule to get it done......(my schedule being when hell freezes over.....) i alkso explained that our children trade off on table setting/clearing and doing dishes, and that he should really help scw when it is his turn to do these chores........he looked at me like i had 3 heads.........thankfully, ecw interceded and showed jon how to run both the washer and dryer.......these skills are valuable...he will thank me one day.........especially if his mamma passes on and she is no longer there to wait on him hand and foot........
