Is the question dd (7) often asks me when she sees I'm having a fight with the laundry or struggling with chores..
As its usually 'of-the-moment' I reply something like, "Yes its tough as you have to do lots of work"
Now I'm questioning myself, I don't want to put a negative slant on the whole growing up thing, potentially leading dd into a mind-set of "its crap when you grow up-I know, I'll take drugs instead!" or "What IS the point of this futile life?"
I think I should endeavour to try and push the positive aspects of being adult......Erm...any suggestions?! And, what would you do/what you say?
