Well. Your list (as a parent) is rarely the same list as the one your kids have.

• Clean your room.
• Make your bed.
• Do your homework.
• Take time off from your tablet, phone, or computer.
• Write your thank you notes.
• Pack your stuff.
• Organize your things.

Their list.

• Sleep in.
• Play games.
• Chat with friends.
• Stay up late.
• Eat snacks.
• Watch movies, shows, or YouTube.
• Just chill.

The funniest thing is that your list (as parents) kind of turns into their list once you can stop telling them what should be on theirs. You can’t parent your parents but sometimes the parent should become more like their kids.
