Only a blithering idiot would expect self-sufficiency from a child who has never been expected to demonstrate any.

because they want to make cookies? And because that way if they want home-made cookies and mom is busy (doing all the laundry, since the kids aren't allowed to help with that), they can just do it themselves.
Yeah, because laundry really takes so much time-bawwahhaa!!

No. It's not like their is a syllabus of required skills and cookie making is on it.
Are you serious?? Bawwahhaaa!!
<< do you think that your children couldn't figure out how to read a recipe if they didn't know how to make a basic cookie recipe at 12/13?>>
Possibly. If a person hasn't ever made cookies, and at 24 decides to make a batch for her fiancee's mother, and it's the first time she's ever done it, and fails .... i bet that 24yo wishes that her mother had allowed her to do it when she was a kid.
Oh, my...did that happen to you??

No wonder you want to be a child again and think adulthood is crappy.
Bawwahhaa!! Yeah, life was much easier as a child. You don't think so?

Organization is one possibility. Slavery is another. Martyrdom is another.
Oh my...lol!! Yeah, she called it being a mom and a wife. She enjoyed it. Still does. Last time she visited us she folded our laundry to help me out-lol!!

Interesting. I don't *think* I'm my children's mother, I *know* it. And I will take care of my family until death.
I guess my "taking care of " is a lot different than yours. How did YOUR mom take care of you and your family growing up? The same way?

How so?
So you see your children before they go to school? How much time?
Nope, don't think it is bad but it is still less time with your children.
My mom often did laundry several times a week. Not every day. She did our laundry once a week-- on Saturdays. We had a laundry basket in our closet and the clothes collected there. On Saturdays, we were supposed to turn all of our clothes right side out and bring them to her to wash. She'd sort, wash, and fold them. Then we had to put them all away. I complained too often, so it became my responsibility.
I do laundry once a week. I've considered washing clothes every day, but don't like how that works in our house. I prefer waiting until the weekend and doing all of the laundry on one or two days. I'm not sure how it would require me to be more organized to do laundry every day. I like to sort my clothes, so washing every day wouldn't work for me at all.
I am my kids' mother and my husband's wife and I do take care of them. But DH and I share household responsibilities and as our kids get older, they will also have responsibilities around the house. In fact, I think I would be kind of derelict in my responsibility as their parent, if I didn't give them some age appropriate responsibilities as they age. Right now, it's easy stuff like pick up your toys and bring your plate to the kitchen when you are done eating.
