I mean come on already!
If I was in his position and staying at with one of ya'll, I swear ya'll would never have to lift a finger. Ever! I mean that's just what you DO to repay someones generosity when you have no other way. And I would never, ever ask ya'll to buy me anything ESPECIALLY something I didn't need - like cigarettes.
And I swear if he snores one more time I'm pouring water in his nose.

Well, I have a guest right now too......he is my nephew.....and I was beginning to be resentful because his lack of helping here too.....now all you know I work in sales, and travel 4 days a week most weeks. And when I come home, the place is a wreck and things are not done.....
Well, I wrote a list of chores for everyone. To be done by Friday, although I may change it to daily expectations....because he waited till Friday to do it....and it was 95 while he was weeding....LOL
EVERYONE GETS A LIST!!!!! Hubby, kids and nephew!!!!!! And it WORKS!!!! I did explain to everyone about the list while I wrote it! Well, this week, I got clothes line installed, edging done, weeding of the flower bed, trash out, clothes folded.......they had more chores, but they were little ones....these were the big ones.....
AND MOM SURE IS HAPPIER TOO
