When I reflect on his answers it makes me wonder what I say or do that makes the topic of chores stand out in his mind...because the truth is- we are not very good at being formal about chores. We do say "this is part of your chores" I guess, upon further reflection, about many little things through the day! He has so many traits of a "first born"- his need to do things right, his strong feelings about right and wrong...he is also such a peace-maker and wants people to be happy. So when I asked what I don't do very well, that was not ok with him! He would never have answered that because he would not want me to feel bad. At least it is apparent through his answers that he knows I love him!
