What do you NOT do because your Mom/Dad did?

I don't make my bed either. And my Mom asked Maddy once when she was little if she made her bed and Maz literally had no idea what she was even talking about.

My Mom is queen of the "might need" stuff. It will literally take us years to go through the house.

I'm getting a dumpster or 2, a bunch of beer and wine and a certain person who knows who they are.

I'm encouraging my mother to take all the 80s clothing she has (hers and mine) to Goodwill and donate it while it's in fashion.

1. I don't iron except when doing crafts that require it

2. I never allow food to be an issue at meals ...ever...I had a 3 bite rule for my kids, at the end of 3 bites if they hated a food they never had to taste it again.

3. I have no problem tossing leftovers. We don't like them and won't eat them so I see no point in saving it.

4. I will spend a few cents more and buy a thicker garbage bag even if it does cost a whole 25 cents more per box.

5. I have never once served my family any form of poweder milk intentionally (I say this because it might be an ingredient in some thing I'm unaware of)

6. I don't let my husbands dislike of foods or amusement parks keep Missy and me from enjoying things we like. I also don't expect him to sit home 24/7 doing stuff we like either. He's more than welcome to go on rides on his Harley to just "be".

7. I do not WAIT on my husband, If I happen to be in the kitchen I'll ask him if he wants a drink or snack if I'm already making it, but he knows better than to do 'make me a sammich woman' .....by the same token, he'll ask me if I want something if he's in the kitchen making a snack...we call it respect.

8. I don't believe that using corporal punishment is the first line of response in raising children.

9. I believe in letting Missy have a voice even if she is disagreeing with me...it doesn't mean she's allowed to be a brat but she's allowed to disagree and we'll discuss things.

10. I do not now nor will I ever eat liver and onions...this is seperate from the 3 bite rule.
