Stopping Behind the Bus While Picking Up Students

Today I was taking my daughter to school, and darned it all, I got stuck behind a bus picking up students. I have this passion about going through the school zones and I believe that no matter what--those rules NEED to be observed. I stopped behind the bus, as always, but 2 cars ahead of me went right around the stop sign. I was FURIOUS!!!! I Do NOT understand how people can just go right around the bus as if it were nothing. Why do people do that? Don't they see that the bus is stopped to pick up kids going to school? Don't they see that fricken stop sign? Doesn't anybody care about the driving rules anymore?

Teens and Helping Out At Home

Spreading out our helping hands to others is what I am trying to instill in my daughter, to help someone that might be struggling with something, like homework, or helping out when she sees that someone is in need. Last week, I had my 6 month old grandson, and boy! she really did help me out with him. We went to the grocery store and it was a real task just trying to get that car seat in and out of the back seat of my car. It took both of us to actually get it out to put into our cart so we could go inside.
My daughter has been really helpful around the house as well, vaccumming without asking if I want it done, taking out the trash when she sees it's full and just odds and ends that really do make a difference around here. I praise her for those good deeds and let her know that helping out is very good. Does your teen help you out with chores at home? I feel that when they help out, especially without having to ask deserves little extra treats and I will sometimes allow her more time when she goes out somewhere, buy her a random piece of clothing or get her a gift card to different places. What types of chores do your teens do to help you out?
