SA, HB & Jack - revisiting the laundry issue....What's wrong with this picture. My H & my D16 NEVER do the laundry and hardly any other household chores...seems that those jobs were assigned to me...by me. In many ways I'm very "liberated" and in others soooo traditional...taking care of everything for everyone...maybe time to change that. If/when H comes back....things will have to be renegotiated lol.
I'm also a bit of a perfectionist. I have learn to let go...I don't like it when things are not done perfectly and right away, that's why I end up doing everything myself. I've been really working on that...to learn to relax and say "who cares" it will get done later. It's a challenge for me. For example D is supposed to do the dishes and she doesn't so instead of doing it myself (as I used to) I just leave it, even overnight and make her do it.
HB, I'm so impressed with your son...23 buying his own place without any help from you...that's rare. He seems like a great kid, you must be so proud of him. You did a great job raising him. I hope that the changes in your household that you speak off are all positive....I look forward to seeing you back on the "boards" soon
