Just an observation, but the following four letter words are often used incorrectly in the U.S.A. When used inproperly, these words can cause problems. They create expectations that harm the speaker.
Fair
Just
Want
Need
The confusion over the last two words, I suspect, is why we are feeling the birth-pangs of a financial depression.
When that hits, I'll try to remember that a little pain never hurt anyone...

It's amusing to see how much my son, Seth, is like me.
Most amusing is when he announces "I'm done" after a very minimal amount of pool time or outdoor play and heads inside.
Yep - outside is not our place.
EDIT: OK... It's not so much the out-of-doors. It's the type of activities and the number of people involved.
Outdoors in the pool; OK. Outdoors in the pool with more than 4 people; "All done."
Outdoors in the yard; OK (provided we're mostly walking or mowing the lawn or doing other singular activities). Outdoors with more than 4 people; "All done."
Indoors with more than 4 people; "All done" (retreat to quiter part of house or even outside). Indoors with less than 4; play with one other person or engage in a singular task for an extended time.
Babysitting Seth is about as easy as monitoring a cat. Watching Eve is like caring for a new and very energetic puppy.
We love them both.

Our home has a lot of odd things about it. Anyone who visits and seems our basement/wine-cellar/catacombs will easily agree. Anyone who has been paid to repair anything will find something the previous owner did in "not quite right" fashion.
I'm happy to say, though, that
this only comes close to what I've experienced through accidental leakage.
