I am frustrated that what you want to do is more important then helping out a little. It bothers me when all you do is play video games and watch tv all day. It's obnoxious when it's a huge fight to get you to do anything else. I love you, but sometimes I just want to shake you a little. Your snarky attitude is getting old, and regardless of how you try and laugh it off, it's still there, and it's still old. I feel like Dad and I do it all around here. We pick up after messes that we don't make, and most of the time it's not a problem. We are stilling trying to recover from Thanksgiving an asking you to help pick up the babies toys is a giant fight. This is disappointing to me because the hardest thing you've done all day is feed yourself and use the bathroom.
I'm all about letting kids be kids, but I'm not about all of this. It's time for you to learn pre-teen boy that if you are going to make it in this life you need to do more then just lay around. I get that it is your vacation from school, but when do I get a break? When do I get to not pick up the kitchen after you've gotten what you needed and left half of it out. Usually if I say something in a situation like that you are good about going back and cleaning it up. Asking you to do anything that involves selflessly helping is not even worth asking.
I guess right now I'm just annoyed that this vacation you are being nothing more than a boy shaped lump on the couch. What happened to a little outdoor activity every now and again. What's worse is you are being a boy shaped lump that is recently unwilling to help.
It's very annoying, frustrating and disheartening. Tomorrow little big boy, things are going to be different enjoy your cartoons while they last.
