Isn't it just amazing that teens will go to all lengths to help a friend, but you ask for help w/chores and it's like you pulled out their wisdom teeth with tweezers!  Needed help cleaning carpets...they were probably growing the cure to cancer after all the kids tromping in my house...told them ALL/friends and kids that they WERE GOING to do most of the work with the cleaner..."Oh cool...OMG, you could literally see black and white from all the areas they missed..."why do WE have to do it"...Well,  I could probably pick up each of yours DNA all over and for sure, MY friends do not track crap all over.

Another issue is how most adults in our community/teachers, neighbors etc, tell me just what great kids/nice polite/helpful I have and i find myself RE-introducing myself and connecting to my kids...yep, that's who they're talking about..and I guess they wipe off that nice attitude when they hit the front door....guess I should'nt complain on that one.  Better than getting nasty complaints about them

When is the last time you hung around at an elementary school?  Yes, all the little boys in kindergarten and first grade race around after school trying to smack each other in the butt or the crotch.  I don't know why they do it.  I don't like it, and I don't tolerate it.  I even tell the other kids in front of their parents to knock it off.  Don't even tell me to watch my generalizations because I've seen it with my own eyes.  It doesn't make them little perverts.  It just means some parents need to teach their kids about boundaries and inappropriate touching.  My kids never, ever did it until the other kids at school did it to them first.  I do not like it one bit, and I told the parents of the other kids.
