"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

My Teen, again

"Arwen, you have a new chore".

I put her on folding laundry.  She has failed to do the dishes for days upon end unless I remind her.  She was previously booted from actually doing the laundry.  I thought I'd try her hand at folding.

"How about I don't have a chore" she replied.

"What?" ask I.

"There are enough other siblings to do things.  How about I just don't have one."

Nice.  Try.
