This is true. A little horizontal R&R can certainly change your outlook.
J. was bored last night so I wrote him a list of 20 things he could do, including:
Write out a list of household chores you can do and negotiate a price for doing each one.I can't remember the rest, and I don't have the list. He tore it up.
I didn't pummel him into the ground. I did go for a walk, which is a concept he can't get his head round either. Why walk for the sake of walking?
I used to walk miles when I was his age Just to see what was out there, what people were doing, maybe stop and talk to some friends/acquaintances.
But then I didn't have a computer. And I wasn't grounded from it. In fact I don't think I ever got grounded in my entire adolescent life.
The dishwasher is being fixed on Saturday, or so they claim.
I still need new tires.
Now I have to go do some work...
Enjoy your Friday!
