Do you think you're unreasonable?

Happy36 · 17/07/2014 00:13

You are reasonable. It is a nice way to ease into getting her doing a few chores in the holidays which will increase her independence and make her feel more grown up.

If she is over tired in the morning, reconsider.

It seems like a nice evening, aside from the hard work. Memories are made by things outside the norm Smile

Ds1 and I do this to music, anything to stay up a bit later.

He doesn't always volunteer to do this but when he does its a nice time.

So ynbu at all.
