and for some it isn't particularly so. stick around and you are sure to see that for some sah and getting the kids everywhere they need to go, and doing all the chores is enormously stressful.

I think personality does play a big part. Perfectionists will always be stressed because perfection isn't possible no matter what your lifestyle is. Octomom is the anti-perfectionist. She's taken laid-back to a disturbing extreme. Somebody with 14 children should be a tad more concerned than she seems to be but that's way OT.

How old are the children in this example?


I ask because from an early age, my children have had chores and learned basic things like how to hang up their coat, put their shoes away, clean up their toys...that kind of thing.

I have a standard that I want to achieve but am unwilling to do the work to achieve it so I have the alternate standard that allows me to live LOL.

I have found it works well, each of my children have their own and are responsible for putting their laundry away each week.
