I wish you all a very happy, healthy and joyous New Year.

Here’s a great story from the Love and Logic Foundation on how to set limits and hold that limit.

SET THAT LIMIT AND HOLD THAT LIMIT

“Mom, will you drive me over to school so I can prac-tice with the cheerleader squad?” “Maybe, Susie. Did you get your household contribu-tions finished already?”

“Well, I thought I’d do them tonight after I get home.”

“That sounds great, except that our agreement was that they are supposed to be done before you leave the house.”

“But, Mom, that is so lame. None of my friends have to do stuff like that!”

“I’m sure that’s true, Susie, and what did I say?”

“Well, I’ll just call Vera. Her mom will drive both of

us to practice. I’m going anyway and you can just forget those jobs ’cause I’ve just about had it with being a slave around here!”

“That’s a possibility, Susie. Are you telling me that you’re just going to leave those jobs for me to take care of like you did last month?”

“Oh fine! Just fine, Mom! Can’t you just lighten up? The last time you took care of it, I got a forty-dollar bill from the Merry Maids. It took most of my savings. I don’t know why you have to make such a big deal about chores. I get good grades! Isn’t that enough? Geez!”

“Well, Susie, I guess that if I were your age, I’d have a hard time understanding why everyone should do their share of the work. It will probably be a lot easier to understand someday when you have a family of your own. If you don’t fig-ure it out by then, I’ll give it another try.”
