I can do this, and I have the time. Why shouldn’t I? I get that. But what we don’t realize is that when we don’t pay someone else to do something we could afford to pay them to do, we’re robbing them of a paycheck. Why be so selfish? Don’t get me wrong, I understand how chores build personal responsibility. That’s why my house manager, Betty, isn’t allowed to clean up after my two sons. She doesn’t work for them. She works for me. My children need to learn about personal responsibility. I’ve learned that lesson by now, and my guess is that you have, too.
