That's pretty outrageous btw.. just me though.. My boys just finished doing the dinner dishes.. a good sound !
I guess if anything positive can come from this mess.. well.. the kids becoming a bit more responsible may be one of them (?).
Early yesterday morning before court I dropped my oldest (14) and one of his friends off at a nearby lake to fish in his 8' aluminum jonboat.. picked them up early in the afternoon . I was proud of him .. things like that.
