I've developed a plan for more chore delegation to the kids. I'm going to use a magnetic white board that I'll divide into four sections: To Do, Daughter, Son, and Done. Then I'm going to stick a bunch of magnets in 'TO DO' and my kids get to chose two to move into their boxes and that's what they have to do during the weekend. The magnets will be color-coded and the rule will be that you can't take two of the same color. Then I basically do everything that's left.
These are the magnets I've designed so far:

Nice! I like this plan. The magnets look great.
My thinking is that this make what they have to do very clear while giving them some agency. Also, they get to see that I'm still doing more chores then they are so they can't complain :)
How far do I have to scroll in AAM before it's more than just people arguing about the definition of millennial?
Quite a while. It's a sore subject over there.
I liked the "stop making us actually professional millennials look bad, doofus!" bits.
Oh yeah, go ahead and collapse those threads.
I love those magnets, Gud!

I suggest you do a search on "Letter Writer". It'll get a bunch of other people's posts, but it'll also turn up the original letter writer's comments a lot more quickly.
In my management life, someone just told me she didn't think it was "emotionally safe" for people to talk about missing our team member who just left. What the actual fuck? She's not dead -- you can still be friends with her! And sure, express some sadness that she's left, but so help me if that carries over to when we have a new hire. This person is such a piece of work. People outside my team LOVE working with her, but she makes me nuts.
