We have this new rule at home. I thought of it laying in bed last night while I was fumming, angry, upset, over-the-top pissed off at my son. He has been lazy. I dont like lazy. So my new rule is this: Do whatever makes you happy. So I started the day off today doing what makes me happy and I have left him alone, doing what makes him happy.

Strangely enough, having a clean house makes me happy; so does doing the dishes (its a peaceful chore that I enjoy), washing the laundry and pretty much every day tasks make me happy. Wierd, I know, but I get a sense of accomplishment and a clean fresh place to live; which I very much enjoy.

Needless to say, my son has done absolutely nothing. He has watched TV, but thats it. And get this, he is miserable. He is similar to me and feels good about himself when he does productive things. But I am not yelling, moaning or groaning, or even asking him to do anything anymore. He is free to do what makes himself happy.

Making oneself happy is hard ! Lets just see how long he will be lazy, miserable and poopy.
