It seemed to dawn on both Gary and I this weekend.
A year from now, Jennifer will be 18. And technically at least, a grown up.
So in light of that rapidly approaching date, we're going to make some new house rules.
She starts helping me pay the bills and monitor the savings account. This way, she'll know when I say "We don't have any $$ for that." I'm not making it up.
She's going to shop for the household one time a month (for the week) and cook dinner one time a week. AND, she's going to start washing her own laundry.
I know, I know, you're asking why she isn't doing that now. Well, blame her dad on that one. He's a bit of a fanatic about doing laundry all the time. Just as I'm a bit of a fanatic on cleaning up the kitchen. So Jennifer knows if she waits, guess what will be done for her?
We'll have to stop doing that.
