I remember getting beaten up at school when I was in year 7 (that's primary school in SA by the way - which gets kinda confusing in my life cos I did years 8-12 in Vic but I digress). I was "saving" 2 poor year 3 kids that were getting beaten up by a peer of mine. He decided that I would do to take his angst out on!!! My teacher blamed the whole thing on me!!!! So my parents did the whole "our GP said we should report this to the cops" which had her backpeddling a tiny bit. It's nice to enjoy being the hero while you can. That was about the last time I didn't die of embarrassment if my parents EVER intervened in my life (although I *almost* died that time - of embarrassment that is, not from being beaten up LOL).lighteninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469704721683347931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996204123105982433.post-11475093231733565162007-11-12T15:36:00.000+11:002007-11-12T15:36:00.000+11:00That definitely sounds much more like it.

One of them was as soon as you were tall enough to bring the washing in off the line. <BR/><BR/>Maybe we were just too good for our own good, but the amount of work around the house we did until we moved out. Sheesh, no wonder we were all gone by the time we turned 18 LOL. And pocket money? pfft. $17 a fortnight.Kinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658401683329180606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996204123105982433.post-85519066151536162802007-11-12T08:47:00.000+11:002007-11-12T08:47:00.000+11:00You have made me laugh a great deal today and it i...You have made me laugh a great deal today and it is only 8.45am.

Ironic really, because with adult sized bodies one would assume they could do more work..... <BR/><BR/>Mine work for extra $$$ for me when they're desperate, but now they can work at their father's shop for $50 a pop, so the $10 for 2 hours work I pay is not much chop. They have to keep their rooms tidy, or else they don't get their pocket money. The younger two obviously forgot this last week, and felt the financial pain.<BR/><BR/>After I logged off I said to them that I'd been working all weekend and they'd done nothing.. (did I phrase it something like "you've sat on your arses all weekend"? I hope not, because I really hate the word 'arse, yet I feel it may have slipped out.<BR/><BR/>They unstacked the dishwasher, restacked it, brought in the washing and were about to do the folding when my Mum and Dad came visiting with news about how Dad caught a burglar!!! We opened the champagne and that was it for the night.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your little ones' willingness to please and be grown up. The good thing about training them young is that you know that they will never be helpless. All of mine know how to clean a toilet, even though you wouldn't have guessed it this weekend......Frogdancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125482354438056481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996204123105982433.post-70742478591440728362007-11-11T22:41:00.000+11:002007-11-11T22:41:00.000+11:00lol @ being a professional telling off other peopl...lol @ being a professional telling off other people's kids!! <BR/><BR/>I may not be a teacher, but I have no problem doing it either and oh it can be fun!! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996204123105982433.post-17688754204854043052007-11-11T22:28:00.000+11:002007-11-11T22:28:00.000+11:00Oh my, you are totally my Super Hero!

My kids (3 and 4) sort the washing, load the machine, fold their own washing and put it away. They stack the dishwasher and help me unload it. They help tidy every day and once week clean the bottom half of the windows. I'm trying to think of more things for them to do around the house.Kinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658401683329180606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996204123105982433.post-52050634692009884372007-11-11T21:04:00.000+11:002007-11-11T21:04:00.000+11:00Idiot!
