I left home at 4am and was still an hour late to the meeting, but that’s what you do.

But where did you learn that? How does the current generation learn that?

I didn’t learn it, I just did it.

My kids are all the same. If it needs to be done, they get it done.

One of my sons is a trucker. He works at a local landscape wholesaler. Even though the entire city shut down, he was at work yesterday even though they didn’t make any deliveries. He had plenty of other stuff to do.

It’s easy, hold your children to the commitments they make. My youngest son inherited the lawn mowing summer chore as a teenager. There was an online gaming tournament he wanted to compete in, and i said fine, as long as the yard was mowed before sundown on Sunday. Sunday thunderstorms rolled in. He wanted to put off mowing the lawn. i said what was the commitment you made. he went outside and mowed the lawn in the rain. And he came back in laughing. It was much cooler to mow the lawn in the rain. Now he’s grown up, successful and is recognized as a get things done guy in his career. And he did a good job on the lawn.
