First bit of good news, we have a technician free toDAY to see the water heater

bad news is, it may cost us a fortune

Well.... shit.

Well, it got looked at

And?

They'll email my friend an estimate

THey have to check on parts

I'm about to go ham on the Things... well, Thing. F'real, ya'll. Like.....

Uh oh

"Unload and reload dishes...." Right? Simple household chore.Can be taught and replicated. Ok

And they did not?

DingADing #1 unloaded......and walked away from the mess.

Oy

There is a 50/50 that he'll find the wifi password changed when he gets home tomorrow and the dishes from hell to breakfast across his room and spaces.......

Well, count to ten and all. Is it possible he misheard you?

No?

Like.... your whole ass job as a child to learn about jobs is to do dishes?

Kids brains are weird. They don't see the importance so it's easy to just.. forget

I remember having one chore. One. All I had to do was vacuum the living room. I didn't understand why my stepmom would get so upset when I forgot. Like, why does it matter? I didn't MEAN to forget

Agree. Rae.... so it's about to be SO IMPORTANT TO HIS LIFE......

Of course NOW I understand, but I also remember it!

RIGHT?!!?

Yep. The answer is not to be mad, but just to find a way to MAKE it important

Yup.

ThingA DingALing gonna have some impressions.....

I feel you

So we ARE navigating new vistas. He's 18. "Adult."

(Bitch, move out... oh no? WELL THEN.....)

Maybe the Wifi password change will catch attention

I think it might

Is it possible your son has ADHD? or something?

YA THINK?

No, f'real.... he and I both, yes.

Sorry. I had forgotten if you told me. I was thinking that might be a factor more than just disregard

All good!

Ok so..... night night.

Hugs Night. Better days
