To me it seem like Children of
today is different then when I was a child. One
thing I notice it seem like when I was younger I had chores that was
expected of me. I got paid for some of them but others I didn't get
paid.
One of my chores I
did dinner dishes and clean up majority of the time.
Confession time...I once stuck dirty
dishes in the oven so I could go out on a Friday evening. Never
clicked with me at that time someone could possible open the oven and
see those dirty dishes.
I talk to
different people my own age about doing chores when they where
younger. Statement time...I wasn't a servant to my parents. But
some others felt like they where.
The simple way of
putting it when I was doing some type of chores my parents wasn't
sitting on there rear-ends but was also doing some type of projects
or chore like things.
During last weekend photo hunt as
Murphy and I was cleaning out the chimney it dawn on me what I could
use for scoop.
Murphy went up on
the roof and took a chimney brush to the chimney. I stayed down below
and pulled on the twine with a weight on the end.
After
a few times of pushing and pulling the brush though. I scooped
out the soot.
We need to clean our chimney too... great take on the theme, happy weekend!

Thats a funny story about the dirty dishes being hidden in the oven :) I think we all tried silly ways to get out of chores on occasion :) Thanks for the smile and coffee!
ReplyDeleteI washed and dried a lot of dishes as a kid, and did a lot of other chores, and never got paid for any of them.
ReplyDeleteMy kids were lucky, we hardly ever had them do anything chore wise.
LOL i can relate to your story about dirty dishes! i lost count of the tricks i pulled just to get away from washing the dishes. LOL my siblings and i were assigned house chores and washing dinner dishes was one of my assignments---i hated it! hahaha payment? that's unheard of in our home!:p
ReplyDeleteI think that's the normal way of life. Our parents had another childhood as we had and now our grandchildren also have another one !
ReplyDeleteAs the eldest child and also a girl in our family, I was expected to do the chores around the house from the age of 10. I was never paid.
