If I owned any pajamas, I would go to work in them. Easy to do when the office is attached to the kitchen.

But I won't take my kids anywhere wearing those ridiculous pants with cartoon characters on them and those huge plush slippers. One of them would rather stay home than get dressed.

Jessss, I have run into so many people who don't bother to read written directions that I think that itself is something that must be taught to kids. Such a simple habit makes so much difference! Don't know something? Look it up! Ask! It kills me how many people don't think of that, or else refuse to do it.

When I was 24 years old, I also took my laundry home every week -because I lived within driving distance for the first time in years and had no washer or dryer. I never expected mom to do the work, though. My budget was so tight that it made a big difference from going to an laundromat.

When I first had to file my own tax returns, it was simple because I was single and didn't make much money. Just reading the directions was enough. When the process became complicated, I started paying someone else to do it.

Maybe I should get a simple form and see if my teenagers can read and understand the directions this year.

FirstWorldProblems, the top thread at reddit addresses just that, with a discussion about Soviet breadlines, and how too many choices make life harder.

Mindy and kkirkpat remind me of the time I was about ten year old at a slumber party, and my friends decided to make scrambled eggs. No one knew how to do it, but one girl said, "My mom puts something white in it." The consensus was to add flour. What a mess!

My kids don't eat as much bread as I do. They eat more pasta instead. I believe that goes back to the fact that they've never lived without a dishwasher. I have, and learned the value of a sandwich very early.

You've made me crave some rye now!
