Good on ya. , Bill.
Signs of homosexuality. Real men are slobs. That’s why they get married.
Bill should know that I went through that with my daughter who is now 32 and a clean freak. lol
When she was 9 I quit doing her laundry because she would take the nice, folded stuff off the bed, throw it on the floor and walk on it. I showed her how to do her own laundry and she was on her own.
She still didn’t learn.
When she was 14 I told her if she didn’t clean all her clothes off the floor I would clean it up and she wouldn’t like what I did with it. She didn’t. She came home from school and was shocked that I had gathered it all up and tossed it out the front door into the muddy flower bed.
She did better after that. lol
“When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly disrespectful and impatient of restraint”.
Hesiod, 8th century BC
“What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?”
Plato, 4th Century BC
“The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint... As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress.”
Attributed to Peter the Hermit, AD 1274
RECYCLING is a tradition...?
My tradition is NOT recycling.
What is wrong with recycling? *rme*
How incredibly silly to think the condition of a teenager’s clothes is relevant to his character or future.
Why are my kids amazing? Because they are more thoughtful of others than I ever was at their age, their intellect is far superior to mine, and they care about me.
Their bedrooms are their self-expression zone, the rest of my house is spit-spot (and they do most of the work). I suspect they will follow my path and become neat freaks, but, for now, they are still caterpillars in messy chrysalises.
*rme*
Good for you
Generation S (for Slobs) predates today’s children, O’Reilly. Ever watch the HGTV shows when they show the interiors of homes for sale, and they look like photos of a tornado’s aftermath? Who would live like that? It takes years to be a slob, so this is not a new phenomenon.
I am fixing up the basement for my slob to live in.
This happens because many parents don’t teach them and teachers don’t care. Or the other way around.
I on the other hand find the floor the ideal place to store worn clothing. Once a week it gets sorted and placed in one of the three laundry baskets.
In recent times, after my wife’s retirement , she has seen the wisdom and follows my lead. Her pile is a little neater than mine but it is still a pile on the floor.
I have been married to a real man for 32 years. He is not a slob.
Not an O’Reilly fan, but he’s right here especially about the overuse of the word “amazing.” It’s one of my pet peeves. Everything is “amazing” these days.
Yes, the Aurora Borealis is amazing. Sunset over the Rockies is amazing. The miracle of birth is amazing. The latte you just had is not “amazing” (said of course “amaaaazing” preferably while gazing up toward the sky.) Your kid’s stickman drawing is not “amazing.”
It’s lazy language.
I agree
You are a Chauvinistic pig/slob
Congratulations.
