[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 135217"] They did dig out the driveway. Rather, Devon did and R helped for about 5 minutes then decided he needed to come in and make hot cocoa (which is why I didn't have any clean measuring cups when difficult child wanted to cook something - he used ALL of them). But, they didn't do it until Sunday afternoon. I kept reminding them Saturday that the driveway wasn't going to shovel itself and R said that I needed to upgrade to a self-shoveling driveway. Me: I don't need to. I have you and Devon. R: Yeah, but we've been downgraded because we had to walk. Me: (seething) Whose brilliant idea was it to walk all the way to Kroger? R: That would be me. Me: Uh-huh. I'm not kidding. I want the driveway shoveled. Lesson learned. Yep, but not what we would have hoped for. I think the only lesson R learned is that he thinks I'm a meanie because I wouldn't pick him up. I'm not sure if Devon learned much more than that. [/QUOTE]
