Looking for some sympothy (see post below first)

OK, so I bath and get the boys to bed, practice reading with one child, do the spelling test with another, help another with her science test, put away dinner, debone the chicken, clean up the dishes, look for the lost form, fill out the found form plus several others and as I am just about ready to go up stairs and roll the room I have spent the last three days inbetween all my other activities edging to perfection Becca enters and says "hey, Dad's up stairs painting for you". Yes, that's right, he rolled the room for me. I know he was being helpful. I know he was trying to be nice. I just have to keep telling myself that.

Oh bummer! That would be disappointing. It's like not helping to make the cake but offering to lick the bowl and beaters. Rolling is the easy fun part! Edging is blood sweat and tears.

Tell him to get out a paintbrush and start doing the edges! :-)

I'm sure he was just trying to help but I agree with Bridget, rolling is the fun part. If I start a project I like to be the one to finish the project.
