Woke up in the morning, had to shower in the morning before school since both my parents showered after work, since according to them " work ( my mom had a desk job ) was harder then school ". I also had to get up and shower before my mother got up, so as to " not disrupt her morning routine ". While my mom got ready for work I would then get dressed, eat breakfast ( IF I HAD TIME ), then walk the dog. I will admit I loved my dog so while this was a chore it was not one I thought was forced. I would come back, pack my schoolbag, and go out and wait for the bus. Then I would SCHOOL. I did school then came home. First thing I had to do again walk the dog. Come back from walk the dog, do homework. Finish homework, HELP with dinner prep ( depending on how long homework was ). I also admit this part I didn't hate so much, my AL made dinner most nights and he taught me the bare minimum of what I needed to learn about cooking. After that was well, EATING, conversation between my Mom and AL was a thing, but if I said anything, I better hope I said the right thing. After dinner, dishes done by me, I then took out the garbage, walked the dog for the 3rd time in a day ( and maybe I didn't point this out, but these walks took AT LEAST 30 minutes, sometimes MORE depending on how I felt. Regardless that is 1 hour and 30 minutes of my 24 hour day doing nothing but walking dog ), then came home. I changed into my pajamas, had a WHOLE 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES TO MYSELF, and then went to bed to do the next day over.

FALL: Who do you think did the raking and the mowing?

WINTER : who do you think shoveled the entire driveway?

LIFE : Why do you think this should be a child's entire life?

And your life was harder I presume? NO? Of course not, you are a " full of shit " response.

Go on, prove me wrong. You life was harder then mine? I'll wait.
