I have just had a friend round and as we were chatting, I was sorting out some dry washing into piles. I had a pile for DS (15) and a pile for DD (13). I normally put them on their beds and expect them to put them away.
I made a casual 'wonder how many times I'll have to ask DS to put these away' jokey kind of comment and friend was horrified that I don't do this for him. He's 15. He's perfectly capable of putting his own pants in his drawer and putting the rest of his clothes in the wardrobe. Same with DD. She seems to think that I am a dreadfully lazy mother and made some comment about 'looking after' her DCs 'properly' in a 'I'm only joking but I'm not really' way.
So, dear reader, is it me?
