The Press-Dispatch With Wednesday, December 19, 2012 this ring... B-9 Strickland-Pearson 60th anniversary Rutherford-Barnett Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Culver celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Dec. 9, 2012. Arthur and Vada were married on Dec. 12, 1952. They have four daughters, Cathy Small, Marquette Cook, Mary Bartley, and Carol Duzan. They also have nine grandchildren, one deceased grandchild, and nine great-grandchildren. The celebration was Dec. 9 for the convenience of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Vada's sister, Viola Miles, also joined the celebration. Two of their daughters, a grandson, a son-inlaw and Vada's sister also surprised Arthur and Vada with a dinner Dec. 12. Jennifer Megan Barnett and Kevin J. Rutherford announce their engagement and forthcoming marriage. The bride-elect is the daughter of Jack and Peggy Barnett of Winslow. She graduated from USI in 2006 with a major in Public Relations and Advertising. The future bridegroom is the son of Janice Stoutland of Oak Ridge, TN. He graduated from USI in 2008 with a double major in history and English. He is currently working on his PhD in Rhetoric and Composition at Miami University in Oxford, OH. The wedding will be in Fairfield, OH on December 21. The couple plans to remain in Oxford until Kevin's PhD work is completed. More proof that children's chores build character Dr. James G. Wellborn Like so many parental expectations and requirements, getting your kid in the habit of doing chores will help prepare them for the real world (if you can ever get them to move out). Here are some of the benefits kids derive from assigned chores. • Responsibility (or "I'm not your maid.") When you make a mess YOU are obligated to clean it up. The most straightforward reason your kid needs to do chores is to drive the point home that he is responsible for his actions in the world (and the messes he makes). • Personal Obligation (or "You helped create this mess now get up and help clean it up!") When you live with other people, you're obliged to contribute to the general upkeep of common living areas. Chores help your kid learn to pull her own weight when it comes to keeping shared spaces clean (so she doesn't end up moving back home because even her friends consider her a slob). • Organization and Prioritizing (or "You had plenty of time to get that room clean. You can just forget about going anywhere till it's done!") Chores are unpleasant for most kids. Unfortunately, life is filled with unpleasant but necessary tasks. Chores provide the chance for your kid to practice making time for necessary evils like routine maintenance in their schedule of otherwise fun or meaningful activities. This helps them learn how to plan, organize, prioritize and suffer. • Sensitivity for others (or "Just because it doesn't bother you to wallow in filth doesn't mean I'm going to live in a pig sty!") It isn't crucial that things be straightened or cleaned. Exposure to germs and disease can help build the immune system (if it doesn't kill you first). But, there are some things you do because it is important to someone else (like, say, a spouse or the health department). Chores provide your kids with a clear message that the world doesn't revolve around them and they need to take others' feelings and sensibilities into consideration. • Pride in a job well done (or "You call that done? Get back in there and finish cleaning that room.") It is important to take pride in even the most insignificant tasks. Chores help your kids learn that every task, however base, is an opportunity to work their hardest and do their best. (The expression on their face when you feed them this line is priceless.) • Self-sufficiency (or "Why do I have to tell you every single time to replace the trash bag after you take out the trash?") Okay, this reason really isn't that important. If your kid needs a lot of practice before he can skillfully take out the trash or sweep the floor, you have much bigger challenges than getting chores done. Like so many time-honored parental expectations, household chores have a value more significant than the practical issue of household maintenance. That said, what is the most important reason kids should do chores? Because you said so, of course. Dr. James G. Wellborn is a clinical psychologist with a private practice in Brentwood, Tenn., focusing on adolescents and families. He is the author of the book Raising Teens in the 21st Century: A Practical Guide to Effective Parenting that includes a chapter on getting teens to do chores along with strategies for addressing 78 other typical teenage issues.
