Your right, my message wasn't very clear.You said she was lazy you never pointed out if it was got to do with the children you just said lazy. I just pointed out that she wasn't she does almost everything in that house and outside the house compared to Steve, who is there all day. She shouldn't have to step up and do the dinner when that should be Steve's job while she is at work, especially as alot of the time she prepares dinners before going back to work. I do agree that she should call him out on alot of things. But maybe that's not in her nature she seems very timid.
I agree Lacey should be doing alot more and watching how much school work she is doing has definitely made me see them in a different light. My son is austic and some what on the same level as Lacey so I know she is able for so much more. My son is seven and he is doing almost the same level as her!
I agree with you. In regards to her job she does work really hard, she gets up early everyday, always seems to be doing over-time and then goes back to work in the afternoon. She always seems to be the one that does the washing, sorts out the kids rooms and when she does cook she always makes really nice dinners, things like Lasagne.
However she knows that if Steves can't be bothered to cook, her kids are probably going to have yet another pot noodle or chicken nuggets and chips again, I am not saying there is anything wrong with having those occasionally but they eat that most days. In that situation should she not for the sake of her children make them dinner? She chooses to allow her children to eat that way.
In regards to Chloe. It is not just her responsibility to make sure that Chloe is washed, dressed and ready for the day. It should be both of theirs. However She knows that he won't get her ready on the weekend, he doesn't even get dressed himself half the time. So is it fair for Chloe to wallow in dirty pj's sometimes for two days in a row with her hair not brushed just because Steve won't sort her out and Rachel doesn't want to do it either.
I do consider her lazy when it comes to the children. I know she works hard and I do feel like she isn't as appreciated as she should be however she does allow these things to happen as well.
Lacey's homeschooling is just ridiculus. I can understand wanting to go over the basics like time and times tables I don't think there is anything wrong with that but they can't substitute that for an actual lesson.
I saw Steve in a different light yesterday after he was really rude in the comments after someone asked a question, he is not as nice as he makes out.
