AMEN to that Sarge!!
Just ONE day I wanna hear someone IN my family say : thanks mom/chelle/dear - living with 2 teens, a hubby who works 17 hours a day and has time to *think* all day while he drives, a 4 year old and a drama queen, on a farm where there is always work to be done, means that the first thing I hear in the morning is whining/.....ing or complaining about how mean I am , and the last thing I hear at night is whining/.....ing or complaining about how mean I am... This morning it was because the coffee was not hot enough, I hadnt turned it on and let it make and heat up good before I woke them up.
ROFLMAO!
oh well, one day they will realize everytime they gripe, complain or whine, I add ONE more thing to make thier lives more miserable.. gripe about picking up your own shoes? good, you get to pick up your shoes AND put up the dishes...
and now, I read where the dept of labor is trying to make it illegal for kids to work on their own farms. Good luck with that. My kids are in charge of raising and butchering every animal we have. they do them for 4-H, to sell for spending money, and to put in our freezer --- and its the same with our 4-5 acre garden. they work it to help feed us and then get to sell the leftovers for spending money. In exchange, I spend hours on the road, hundreds buying bullets, and thousands on deisel to let them pursue their hobby. Plus, I run a shooting range for them to have somewhere to practice. LOL They are sooo mistreated.
