ORIGINAL: Wolf2Bear Then isn't about time you stepped up to the plate and make them listen before it's too late? You stated in a post your offspring are 10 and 13 I believe? As to what LP wrote, it is sound advice and for a second, I thought she was channelling my own mom, in the sense that a child is never too young to learn how to take on a bit of responsibility. Hell...like many others,I had chores to do when I was your offspring's' age, from helping with dishes, picking up my dirty clothes off the floor to keeping my room neat. As for Art foisting all the household chores to you...well being a Master entails a hell of a lot more than delegating what he will do and what you must do, sorry sweetie but all these excuses I am reading from you sure sounds like his fantasy is falling way short of reality; as I see it, you both are failing to mesh the M/s with the reality of every day living. As I asked earlier...what about the importance of your own health? Is that some minor inconvenience or not. I still fail to see how any responsible master allowing his slave, whom he so cherishes, to allow said slave to have her health suffer because neither he or the other members of your household ignore their own responsibilities of the house. Any decent and caring Master will ensure their property is healthy physically, emotionally and mentally, anything less and I seriously wonder about the ability of that master and the choices he makes. I agree totally. By the ages of 10 and 13 kids should understand enough about what a family is to realize that have to help out and be used to that. Tammy should have been teaching them that, she has not. That's her bad. HIS bad is ignoring the issue and delegating it all to her, when she is not physically up for it. On the one hand, I can understand a step parent getting tired of trying to help their mate discipline their kids, but if this is something he cannot accomplish, he owes it to the entire family to get them counseling. This is, after all, a very common every day issues in vanilla households as well. Which is why family counselors are really good at teaching parents how to discipline their kids and help them learn basic chores and responsibilities. I used to work at a large university. You would be floored at how many college age students can't clean, do laundry, cook, shop, handle money, maintain a car.....it's scary.
