Errands for mom. Trudging through aisles may not make a perfect Saturday morning, nevertheless, it’s one of the errands that junior Kathy Sublett must do to help out her mother. W e ' - All work no pay Family life divides free time between chores and fun. On my way shopping Sunday afternoon, I decided to take the scenic route. As I turned down a side street, I noticed a friend laborously shoveling the snow despite the adverse temperatures outside. She explained to me that she had promised her parents that she would do some work around the house. I couldn’t believe it! Throughout the week we go to school and on the weekends she is still doing hard work. Stopping at a stoplight, I find myself next to one of the guys from school. He told me that he was carting his little sister around now that he had his license, I asked him what else he was doing during the day. He told me that he had to fix the car, work for his dad in the office, and do some errands at the store for his mom. He also told me that a lot of kids have certain obligations to their parents.

Insuring a free weekend, sophomore Sheila Higgins straightens up her dresser and shines her mirror in order to override her mother’s threat. As I arrived at the shopping center, I tried to recall what my mother wanted me to pick up for her. I suddenly realized that I too had things to do for my parents; shopping wasn’t just on my time. I tried to get my shopping done fast because I had to get home and clean up the mess I had made in the basement. And then I wanted to get ready to go out to dinner with my parents. Though it seems as if my parents are always demanding my time for errands and chores, I tend to forget the time I choose to spend with them. “It’s not like you’re giving up something,” senior Pam Gershman explained, “You just know that there is time when you want to be with your parents.” Staying home and watching a video tape or a movie with your parents can be a lot of fun. According to Adam Ochstein, “My parents and I have a great time watching some of those older movies on the video recorder.” I really never realized that parents time doesn’t just mean the time spent doing errands. Doing things with my parents, like going to the movies or out to dinner, is a lot of fun!
