Psssst! I have a parenting tip…You can call any new chore around the house “a life skill.” So when your kids complain the next time about
another chore,
just remind them it’s a life skill and that you are preparing them to go out into the world equipped to be a productive citizen.
And as your kids get older, we as parents learn a few new life skills, too. 🙂
Ha! I like that one. Only from an experienced, wise mom would this jewel emerge. Glad to see you’re still blogging strong, Jan.
Oh, it’s so good to see you Lisa.
