I love my Roombas! Wall-E and Rosie are part of the family! It’s nice to know someone is helping out around the house…
I get irritated when my teens don’t pitch in. My mom used to yell “I’m not your maid!” But my kids grew up on Harry Potter, so I complain “I am not your house elf!” I’m beginning to think my kids believe their messes just magically disappear. They don’t even bring me their dirty laundry. I have to go find it and collect it like some smelly treasure hunt.
My theory is, they do it on purpose! They think if they actually hand me the clothes, I’ll be like “Dobby has been presented with dirty underwear! Dobby is a free elf!”
Then I’ll start wearing one sock and a tea towel and refuse to clean up after them anymore. It’s genius!
