Mommy chores vs. Daddy chores
Here we are with a four day weekend and no plans to travel. But, I have many chores on my list for the 5 boys to do. My sons squawk that my chores are boring and stupid, whereas, Dad's chores are fun and cool. I want them to clean their rooms including changing their sheets and dusting. My husband wants them to pick up the broken siding from a siding job he is working on. I want my sixteen year old son to vacuum his car including waxing and the interior. Dad takes him to the junk yard to find a part for the auto window mechanism. I need the boys to rake the beach and dump the washed up weeds, Dad has them raking old leaves down into a ravine and yes, they can jump into the piles and fool around in the woods. How can I compete with that? I make them dinners and desserts, Dad takes them to the racetrack to watch demolition races while eating junk food. I drive them to soccer games and launder their smelly uniforms and Dad takes them to the dump. I guess Dad wins hands down because he gives them dirty jobs and I give them cleaning jobs. The dirtier, the better, the cleaner, the loser!
