Confession: I secretly judge parents and caregivers who do not expect their child or teen to help out around the house with regular chores. I don’t know how many of them are out there, but I certainly know a few personally. I don’t typically judge others, however, I’m gonna get on my soapbox about this one.
Also included in this episode:
*my shift in perspective from the dreaded teen years to parenting a teen is fun!
*Lane's spot on application of a classic quote from the movie Elf
*Lane's household chores over the years

*why chores are a good thing for kids and teens and why I'm secretly judging those who have no expectation for their children
*two things I said (and sang) to put a stop to whining, complaining, and begging when he was younger
