Wednesday's Words of Wisdom Not My Own.....

I'm thinking of posting this in my kitchen to encourage my kids to help more around the house. I get SO tired of the words: "It's not my job"



Whenever you see a job to do,

ask yourself these two questions:

If not by me - by whom?

If not now - when?

--Arthur Lagueux

Okay, let me get this straight. They live with you, they don't have paying jobs and they don't help. Not cool.

To clarify: They do help, but only with things that are classified as 'their' jobs. Dishwasher, trash, lawn. The 100,000 unassigned jobs are the ones they are inclined to ignore.
