My evil, evil plan to turn Hub into a compliant sock picker-upper.
In response to the discussion on my last post:

and its sister article

The question (as with all things educational) is whether he has enough capacity and/or we have enough time to meet our goals. My goals, I mean MY goals.

I am a professor at a primarily undergraduate institution. My spouse is a research professor and works two hours' drive away. This blog is primarily about life at a PUI, but also about our family trying to make the most of an uncomfortable lifestyle.

Great plan! I'm going to read those articles and figure out how to implement a similarly evil plan. Mine has a learning disability when it comes to noticing clutter, dirt, or supplies getting low. Like a giant blindspot that only applies to things in our house. It's bizarre.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read the second one yet, but after I got over my thoughts of, "If they knew we were thinking of them as animals..." it was a really great article. I can't say I won't look into this.
ReplyDeleteKaren Pryor's Don't Shoot the Dog is a must-read.
