Oh thank you! That was fun! I loved your grocery list at the beginning. 😂 And your text thread is awesome… “I can’t find a baking aisle, so I’m going to have to give this up.” Way to stick with him! 🤣 I have similar text threads, but they’re with Dave trying to find stuff for me! He’s a saint to keep saying yes when I ask him to stop at the store. 😆

I am totally doing this, except my son is 17, and about to graduate, so he's slightly better at finding stuff. And in this case, I don't even worry about the fact that I'm too lazy to go to the store (again), I just congratulate myself on teaching him to shop. Even if it's just for shredded mozzarella or something (that's what I made him get-- I hadn't bought enough-- and there was definitely some texting back and forth about whether they actually had 4 cups, as opposed to 2 (they did)).

And I think a LOT of parenting is about not caring. I think overcaring parents are making kids pretty neurotic these days.
