After having gone through all the points on why I shouldn't have to act like a glorified house-elf ( not sure mom got the reference), and generally whined about it, my mother saw fit to blackmail me into jumping out of the computer. Not sure if it counts as blackmail when she says:" No more computer if you don't clean the kitchen; cook the diner; do a load for the washing machine; make sure your brother takes a bath and clean the kitchen again". After gaping at her for a full 5 minutes, being cut off from finishing whole sentences by utterances of " And not another word!", I finally resigned myself to my fate. I WAS BEING KICKED OUT OF THE COMPUTER!
So here I was, a house-elf worker doing 'ma thin , and a thought struck me. Do mother's actually have immunity when it comes to blackmail? Could it be called reasonable child-rearing for parents?It seems to work!
