I hate hate hate packing
And my kids are not helping. We are all burnt out from the last 3 weeks of preparing for and cleaning up from the graduation party. Seriously kids, you should be able to pack for yourselves! You don’t have school now or activities! Get off your lazy butts!
I get a lot of “it will be fine mom. I don’t need much.” But what they really mean is, “I’m not going to bother packing and if I need anything while we are gone, I’ll just take mom’s.”
I miss when my kids were 9 and 10yo. They helped and were eager and cheerful about it. Where did those people go??
