Hi WVK
Enjoy your cereal - obviously you’re not a millennial because you don’t think (or Marlene doesn’t) that it’s too much effort to put some cereal in a bowl, pour milk on it and wash the bowl and spoon when you’re done.
My 13 yo nephew gets his cereal every morning and his bowl and spoon usually (not always) makes it to the sink. Now we just need to get him to rinse it and put it in the dishwasher - one step at a time. He does have chores every week though, including the bathrooms
One of the neat thing about living here is that for 2500 PhPesos a month ($53 +/-), we have a 6 day a week stay-in (if you say live-in, that implies a "relationship!!!") housekeeper/yaya. A Yaya is one the one that take care of the kids. In this case, our kids are Cadbury and Hershey. She walks Cadbury 3-4 time a day, PRN, starting around 5AM. Hershey goes later and has to be carried part of the way, still.
Life is good. Life is Verrrrryyyy good!
