Maybe you could...You are soooo on the right track. Maybe you could make a deal with son #1. "Complain about doing this chore and you'll get another added to it". If you follow through, he probably won't complain too many more times.<br /><br />The teen years are really rough for the mom, but just to give you a head's up, when the girls reach that age it could be even worse. I'd develop a game plan now if I were you.<br /><br />In answer to your question about asking permission when taking a person's photo, sometimes I get nervous and sometimes I won't get the shot because of nerves. I ask permission if I'm real close to them, otherwise I don't. The legality is that "in a public space, there's no expectation of privacy", and since I'm using these photos for my own personal purposes (not to send to magazines, etc), I usually try to bite the "nervous" bullet and shoot away.imageisee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405228310930101073.post-49438510788651848592011-06-08T13:20:39.961-04:002011-06-08T13:20:39.961-04:00Oh boy. I do not look forward to this. But, like...Oh boy. I do not look forward to this. But, like you, I think about what kind of adults I want to churn out. Not being able to handle responsibility, whining about hard work and being shiftless is not what I want for them.<br /><br />Hopefully helping them not be this way won't put me into an early grave.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10623440001907352150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405228310930101073.post-78358246082950529552011-06-08T10:42:16.494-04:002011-06-08T10:42:16.494-04:00I completely relate to questioning yourself and al...I completely relate to questioning yourself and also to kids being mouthy. I am not looking forward to the teen years at all.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of the Amish. I am going to try to remember that the next time my kids complain about doing chores and I wonder if I really do ask too much of them!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301323878214443810noreply@blogger.com
