1. Growing up with my mom and step-dad, my mom did most of the housework

while my step-dad spent the majority of his free time watching TV. They both worked full time jobs outside of the house. Sometimes my sister and I would help out. It's something I feel bad about now days. If I could go back and change something about my teenage self it would be to help mom out more around the house.

Now days, I do most of the house work for me and my wife. So I suppose I learned something from the deal.
