So, my 15 year old son committed to bringing peanut butter bars to his school harvest party tomorrow. I come home at 9:30 from an evening out with Dad and no beautiful, delicious peanut butters are on the bar, ready to take to school in the morning; he completely forgot.
"What should we do, Mom?"
Mom's response, "Well, if you commit, you follow through, even if it's 9:30 PM." He promptly got to work. He's proud to take his "creation" to school tomorrow, even if it means staying up until 11:00 to get it done. I'm proud of his good attitude even through the frustration of a deficient memory.
Here's a positive...We get a Midnight snack of to-die-for chocolate frosted peanut butter bars.
More to come, but until then...Stick-to-it!
Way to make the kids follow through! It would be easier just to say "forget it." This is how they learn not to be flaky...
