[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 652993, member: 18238"] That's how our son is too, why do now what you can ignore and someone else will do later? He had a chance a few winters ago to make some money shoveling snow. I had shoveled our elderly neighbors drive after the previous snow fall and, against my wishes, she left a $20 and a twelve pack of soda on the back patio for us. I told him that they would probably have paid him $30 no problem if he had done it. He got a bit pissy that I didn't ask him to help but we all went on about our business. The next snow came and I reminded him. "I'm waiting for the snow to stop" was his mantra for the day. I went out and started shoveling our drive. I get most of the way done and notice one of the neighborhood kids walk onto their drive with a shovel and started in. Our son finally came out at around 4:00 or 4:30 as the other kid was finishing up. He was PISSED even though he had no right to be. If he had just got up when I told him to it would have been fine.
