#Ulog ~ 5 ~ The Egg Man @EddieBowes!

lyndsaybowes (71) in ulog • 7 years ago

There he is doing his daily chores, feeding the chickens their 'treat bowl' and then when they are distracted with that he goes and gets the eggs. I used to get the eggs (I know you guys will miss seeing me in my snazzy eggpron), but these broody hens are killing me, literally, they peck the shit out of me when I try to get the eggs.

Eddie traded putting away the dishes every day, for doing the eggs instead. Score for both of us! He was sick and tired of drying dishes and the chickens are actually super tame with him, we all know Eddie is the Chicken Whisperer...

And the Best Part

I pay him his allowance in SBD. I'm sure it's going to change to STEEM soon, haha, he hasn't been checking coinmarketcap enough though shhh don't tell him lol he'll want a raise!

Getting the 'secret stash' of eggs out of the meat birds coop, those little rebels will find any way to avoid laying in their nesting boxes.

I'm so blessed to have children that are willing to help me out, I love how good with the animals they are, and in the gardens as well. All 3 of our sons already have a great work ethic which is amazing considering how young they are. We don't raise them to have the world handed to them on a silver platter (even if we could afford it we wouldn't). We raise them to be able to eventually look after themselves, and that includes knowing how to grow food and butchering animals. These are skills I wish I would have learned as a child, but now, we get to learn it together, so it's great this way too.

I used to watch those shows like SuperNanny or whatever where they were like, "My kid is out of control and they don't listen and they're spoiled brats!!" ...and was like, uhhhhhh, they didn't become that way BY ACCIDENT, little "helpless" parent! Even when I was a teenager, my toddler brother would listen to me but not our dad. Dad complained, WHY DOES HE LISTEN TO YOU AND NOT ME ...and I said, because he knows you'll complain for fifteen minutes and then pick up his toys for him, and I won't. Dad never changed. Even the dogs never obeyed him.
All that to say: you're doing it right. 😉

Yeah, super nanny lol I totally hear ya. Or the people that put their 5 year olds into counselling, because yeah, they need mental help, but the parents don't. It's all the 5 year olds problems...

Right?? If a kid that young needs counseling, the parents should automatically get counseling too, because barring some issue from birth or school bullying being the problem, odds are PRETTY GOOD it's the parents...
