I don’t want my kids relying on another person to do basic life functions, that’s a very pathetic way to be.

Totally, I have a friend who really struggling because her two boys are now becoming teenagers and all they’ve ever seen is her doing virtually all the work around the house, so naturally they’re now resistant to being expected to step it up in the chore department. And it’s not like their father can really admonish them, because they’re just copying his lead.

I get that it can be a struggle to overcome your upbringing, but you’ve got to try.
