There is absolutely nothing wrong with paying to have it done. I do that sometimes too, if I just don’t want to fool with it or don’t have the time. Urchling has a pretty full schedule sometimes too or it’s just above her skill level at that particular juncture.

The point, as you’ve laid out pretty well is to handle your shit. Fucking adult. Or don’t expected to be treated like one.

Raise your kids to be adults not perpetual children throwing tantrums in public all over the place, disrespecting people and their own family members, and unable handle to basic life skills and problems.

Male or female. You need to know how to take care of things. You need to contribute to the running of the household in some fashion or don’t prance around like you have a right to be there in cause you think you’re special. Rent ain’t cheap and nobody is that special.

We are on the same page on that and preaching to the choir.
