Divine, I was thinking the same thing! Is that a difference between american parents and our european background? When i was staying with my mother, i did her laundry, folded it and put it away, the vacuuming, the dusting, washed the floors, cut the grass, shoveled the snow, pulled the weeds, and did major projects like scrub the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom ceiling to floor with ammonia. Also washed the dishes, and she was always cooking for her friends and relatives. Made her bed, changed the sheets, did the ironing. Dyed and rolled her hair. Gave her professional manicures and pedicures. And she made me feel like i did NOTHING.

Huh. No wonder my aunt asked me to come live with her!
