RE: Tastes like candy

At her grandparent's she gets paid, but at home, she knows she has responsibilities - like neatening her room and putting her clothes into the washing basket etc. Little things, but they are clear.

A few weeks ago, she asked what our responsibilities as parents are.

What didn't occur to me at the time was that he'd been brought up to be responsible.

Interesting isn't it? A lot of parents treat their kids like they are incapable of taking responsibility over things, and then wonder why they grow up largely useless and dependent. Smallsteps plays with scissors :)

Kids are far smarter than we raise them to be.
