i am just surprised that he is not right there with you doing these. my
seven year old cooks and cleans with me (plus on her own when i am busy with

the wrong message if one is sitting vegging while someone else is work, work,
working... we are all a team, we have work to do, we can talk about what

start supper? open 2 cans of crm mush soup and we will need a bag of frozen
veggies from the downstairs freezer.... etc etc...
