So what is Lazy Parenting?

A definition of lazy parenting: Your kids do all the hard work. But only after you've done all the hard work.

I figure there are three things:

Having kids who do a lot of the housework or at least clean their own mess and take responsibility for their own things
Having kids who generally know what the right thing to do is (and do it)
Having kids who listen to what you ask (and do it)

Sounds like heaven, right? Indeed.
I'm a long way from being able to say my kids are like this, but they are getting there. Of course, most kids are not born with these qualities (though I'm sure I was!) and that's where the parental hard work comes in.

no you weren't born with that ability. A few black plastic bags of stuff from your room as a kid nearly made the bin. You did learn... eventually
