If I made a mistake and my daughter was able to help me out of a bind, I'd want her to choose to do that. I choose to help her when I can.

When she calls for help, she makes it pretty clear that (a) she knows I might not be able to do it and (b) she's asking for a favor. I guess that's enough for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698519433629464876.post-80903429487258775562011-03-31T15:26:18.418-04:002011-03-31T15:26:18.418-04:00The answer depends upon the frequency.

I have told him repeatedly it is his job. he asked for water at his game and I held up my hands and said, "did you bring it? That's not my job. it's yours." I got a glare from one mother and a "good answer" from another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
