We just started having the boys bring the big garbage cans in after garbage day. They are twice their size, but they LOVE doing it. Today as I drove into the driveway and saw the empty garbage cans ready to be brought in I asked Mr. Pres if he wanted to bring them in. He said, and I quote (and will quote again when he’s 13) “Oh PLEEEASE can I? Please oh please?”
Anyone know of a drug I can give them that makes this joyous desire to do chores stick? I’d bet even in this economy you could make a fortune on that kind of drug!
Your title is very accurate – too bad, eh? =) PS – let me know if you find that \’drug\’ you\’re talking about, right now the \’drug\’ to complete chores is only motivation to have privileges, but I guess I forgot to think of including the part where they say \’sure mom\’ with a smile. Maybe I\’ll allow them more privileges if they start doing it that way . . . it seems like a good idea – I think I\’ll try it! LoL
