Members John81 Posted September 12, 2006 Members Share Posted September 12, 2006 Don't you know I love the cool autumn weather but I'm not looking forward to all the leaf raking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IM4given Posted September 12, 2006 Members Share Posted September 12, 2006 Do children still rake leaves in the fall so that they can run and jump in the piles? Are you still allowed to burn the leaves, so that the smell of leaves burning permeates the air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted September 12, 2006 Members Share Posted September 12, 2006 Can you believe one of my neighbors thought I was evil because I had my sons (ages 7 and 11 at the time) helping me rake leaves last year? :roll: :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IM4given Posted September 12, 2006 Members Share Posted September 12, 2006 What would you consider work? Homework? Chores? Washing the car? Raking leaves? Taking out the garbage? Feeding and watering their pets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hermanj Posted September 12, 2006 Members Share Posted September 12, 2006 Don't you know that most kids won't (or aren't required to) do ANY of those now days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted September 13, 2006 Members Share Posted September 13, 2006 Can you believe so many parents jaws drop when they hear how polite my children speak or when they find out they do chores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IM4given Posted September 13, 2006 Members Share Posted September 13, 2006 Can you believe that my children feel like "slaves" because none of their friends have to do anything either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted September 13, 2006 Members Share Posted September 13, 2006 Do you know what I'm talking about when I tell you that it amazes me how parents will talk about how shocked they are my children speak polite and do chores willingly but their kids "just don't behave that way"? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
