He has chores.
He helps around the house.
I ask him to bring the washing in, unload the dishwasher, look after his brother, walk the dog, help with the shopping…
And he does.
But sometimes I make homemade pizza from scratch
and carry it upstairs to his bedroom.
Not because he’s entitled to it.
Not because I have to.
Because I want to be nice to my boy.
And maybe when you show your children kindness,
they learn to give it back.
So when I need his help,
he doesn’t turn around and say,
“I’ve got better things to do.”
We’re kind to each other.
That’s the relationship I’m trying to build. ❤️
