Would you?
DH is ticking me off. Just a little, but he will not bend to my way of thinking and it makes me grumpy. Lol. I want to know if I am being a coddling mother or not?
My son normally takes the trash out on Monday mornings before school. When school was in. The trash people come really early. Well since my DS is on summer vacation from school, I take the trash out for him in that day when I go to work. I see absolutely NO reason to wake him up at 6:00AM to take out a trash can when I can wheel it out just fine. He usually has to work until midnight, but DH thinks it is crazy for me to do this for my son. (which is a joke coming from guilt daddy himself) My DS is working almost 40 hours a week (late nights) during summer before he starts college. DH gets pissed because I take the trash out for him and will for about the next 4 weeks. After that he will be getting up early for school and DS will start back doing it then. I just don’t see the reason to make a big deal out of this.
My son is as lazy as most 18 year old boys are. He does have other chores that he does just fine. But he has also held the same job for two years and gone to school full time. And made straight A’s all last year in pre AP classes. I just don’t understand why DH has to act like I am stunting him. Grrr. Your thoughs? Would you wake up your kid to do this chore or help out when you could?

PS, he can't do it the night before because the animals tend to destroy it.

Why not have him take out the
Why not have him take out the trash before he goes to bed? I think you taking it out is fine, I don't see the big deal but if it is going to cause this much drama couldn't he put it out before he goes to bed. My DH puts out our trash Sunday night before bed for the Monday morning pickup, my whold neighborhood does. Agian I repeat I see nothing wrong with you doing it just for the summer but is this a battle you really want?
LOL. Too funny! It is
LOL. Too funny!
It is not really a lot of drama, DH is not making a scene or anything or mad, but it stings to hear him say something like that when I have watched him wipe SS's butt for 18 years. gah!

Just nod your head, and say "I see"...and do it your way lol.
Yeah I was going to suggest the night before also but you mentioned critters...hmmm, don't know..I know I wouldn't wake anyone up-older kid or not-to do a chore that is on my way to work and will be temporary- just to make another adult happy.
That said-when your son is on his own-he will have to get the trash out even in summer time or if he works nights

I do. I'm not changing the way I do it, was just wondering if anyone agreed with DH. lol

Yep, key there is "when he is on his own". Right now he is not and he words harder than DH and I put together right now and will for probably the next 6 years.

Buy a trash can that the squirrels can not get in and have the kid do it when he comes home. My son does it as soon as he can on Sunday so he doesn't get awaken up that early. We have to set a time of 7:00 PM otherwise he would do it at noon...

In my town, we're fined if our trash cans are out the night before because of animals getting into them. We also have an ordinance about how big our trash containers can be
I say if your son is going to go back to doing it once school is in and you're not actively complaining about...perhaps it's not such a big deal. Now if you're complaining nonstop, then DH might have a point.
