Pickles Confessions

I finally got to see my kids after the divorce. Turns out my role in the house has been replaced by video games.
Gone: fishing; baseball; basketball; walking; bird watching; playing music; learning to fix things, chores.
Replaced by: video games.
To her parents credit they kept their promise. They promised to take my place. My children now clean their house. Yes!!! I was teaching them robotics; programming, and engineering. They teach them to scrub toilets and vacuum. That should take them far. Her parents have never cleaned their own home. Well That’s why I had children, so her parents could pretend to be royalty.
I was out front redoing the drainage for the flower gardens. I asked my youngest if he wanted to learn how. He said sorry; mom says I gotta change grandpas sheets; wash his clothes; and clean his bathroom, so he can go play pickle ball.
I said well grandpa and his friends do like to play pickles with each other. It’s very hard.
