Hey Tracy. Chill Out. You posted for some advice. I was just giving some
in a nice way. Maybe you should have taken it that way. I am not a martyr
to my kids, I am just stating that we all work together. They are not told
that their allowance is a paycheck and if you don't do your work, you don't
get paid. I said I keep it in my head. And as for my husband, what makes you
think I even have one. You are not a friend setting at a table having a cup
of tea with me, your just trying to make me feel inadequate. Well, enough
said, I don't need to explain myself to you.

Have a good day
Cheryl

I was chilled out when I wrote my post. :)

I didn't ask for any advice. That was someone else's post.

-=-They are not told that their allowance is a paycheck and if

But it's still there whether or not it's verbalized.

-=-And as for my husband, what makes you think I even have one.-=-

I don't know if you do or if you don't, Cheryl, but if you do/did then
the question is still applicable.

You're right . . . you don't have to explain yourself to me. The list
guidelines say:

"2) Please only post issues/topics that you are open to discussing.
If it's in your message, it's open to discussion."

I was discussing what was being posted. I never attacked you. I even
prefaced my reply with a "this is being said in a nice way" kind of
thing, but, hey, I don't have any say on how anyone will take it.

I was not mean or rude to you in my post and certainly not any
accusations of inadequacy. How you choose to interpret my post is up
to you. You don't have to read it. You don't have to take any of the
advice given. You don't even have to acknowledge that you read it.
Nobody here will would ever know.

But *you* were not being discussed. Ideas were being discussed. I
hope that clears a few things up. :)
