We try to teach the kids that it is not nice to hate. If I hear them use the word HATE for anything I tell them that the Christianson Family DOES NOT HATE!
It is almost time for me to leave work and head home and I do not want to go! Why? Because I HATE folding and putting away the laundry. I HATE IT! And I have 2 baskets full of clean clothes that have been waiting for me all week and today I have run out of excuses for why I can't do it tonight. I tell the kids their first chore will be the laundry but anyone that knows me will know that I will never make them do it because why would it be fair for me to pass on a chore I don't like to my kids. Heck, I will probably be doing their families laundry when I am in my 80's.
Shane has agreed to wash the clothes because it is fun to put the soap in the washer and the wet clothes from the washer to the dryer. He said the rest is for me - my kids are so generous.
Did I mention that I HATE folding the laundry? We can send people to live in space but we can't make clothes that don't get dirty - hey honey, get right on that, will ya!
