The key to being good parenting is avoiding as many tasks as possible. Or delegating n the name of encouraging independence.
And I'll agree with this!!!!! I've recently embraced this wholeheartedly after reading how this encourages self-esteem/self-worth, a sense of being needed, independence in kids. My girls are doing amazing at it--they do chores & tons of self care now w/ little to no complaints. It's made my life easier & I really think its been great for them.
Okay, no kids yet, but this makes me feel so much less insecure about what may be to come! Lol. I kinda grew up this way, too, and I think I came out pretty okay. Mostly. Lol.
