It was a good talk, and I did come up with some ways to be more responsible, but I still would like some ideas on things I can do to take on more responsibility while still living at home.

Here are some ideas:

Clean the house without pay

Mow the lawn and pull weeds on a regular basis without pay (we do not have a lawn mower and my parents hire a laborer to do this for us once a month/every other month or as needed).

Scoop poop, which is hard to do when the lawn isn't mowed on a regular basis.

Brush and bathe Max on a regular basis.

Pay for Evy's flea meds, litter, and vet/other expenses

Pay for food for all pets

Take Max for walks

Cook meals for my parents

Go grocery shopping for my parents
