RaVae EricksonHubbin and I were watching House Hunters on TV last night when the lady on there…ok I will start at the beginning.
This family is a pretty wealthy one from California where both parents have taught at Stanford. They have three kids, a Junior in college (at Stanford), a soon to be Senior in High school, and a soon to be Middle Schooler. The dad got a really great job offer in Alabama. The problem is they want their son to finish high school with his friends and they want their daughter to start middle school in Alabama so she can make new friends from the get go. So, they are moving the Dad and middle schooler to Alabama and the Mom and high schooler are staying in California. Basically they will be a split family for nine months or so. Not my cup of tea, but not my life either, so whatever. Anyway, on the the point of this whole thing.
They are looking at this house in Alabama with three laundry rooms when the mom tells the agent with them this story. The mom was gone for a week and the son threw his clothes down the laundry shoot and was confused because nothing happened to them the whole time she was gone. He didn’t get it! He had no CLUE how his clothes got clean, he thought it was magic…and he is a SENIOR in HIGH SCHOOL! Are you kidding me?!? The mom then proceeded to tell the agent they didn’t need three laundry rooms because none of their kids did their own laundry…you have a JUNIOR in COLLEGE who doesn’t do her own laundry? Does she even know how? Or does she think the laundry shoot is magic too?
How can people raise their kids that way? How is that even possible?
Alright, enough with the rant, but seriously? I don’t understand how this is even possible. That is just ridiculous!
