They look lovely!
And so do the meatballs XD
With her being at daycare the last year, the pedantic processes of the parents
What happened here?
I think the more children are included in the everyday functions of the household, the faster they will develop their own understanding and the skills of self-sufficiency, including self-direction, rather than needing to constantly be told what to do, or have their entertainment delivered on a silver platter.
Well one can hope. All three of my kids were helping out and joining in from a young age. Now they will still help out when asked but I always have to ask (middle child will occasionally do things that need doing when she notices they need to be done but has to be "in the mood") because they're older and quite hellbent on doing their own things.
Ah crap. A cut and paste issue when I moved the image.. :/
I am pretty sure that as she grows she will phase out the volunteer helping, but if she can actually do it, when she has her own place it is more likely she can manage it :)
I am guessing you don't have a lot of fear for your kids being able to provide and care for themselves?
Oops :S Ahh well XD
The older two should have enough resilience and problem solving abilities by then to be able to manage themselves. If youngest is anything like me he will need a lot of extra financial help and guidance probably forever x_x at least he can do maths unlike me.
Given how things are going I'm also currently assuming we're going to be intergenerational living well past childhood/early adulthood.
