End of my Sanity
I bought my older daughter a Playstation 2 last week. I included memory, an extra game and the DVD controller.The deal was: dust and vacumn the house, and mop the kitchen floor until she is 18. It's really not that much. We live in a small place. This should be 1/2 hour a week for about 64 weeks. 32 hours at $7 an hour about covers the cost.
She was ill on Sunday so she couldn't perform her duties. So I wouldn't let her take the PS2 to her mothers. Therefore, in the first week my lovely wife and I have discovered the addicting nature of video games.
My daughter thinks I'm kidding when I tell her I've decided to keep the console.
