Convenience gets in the way of skill building
I remember arguing this so many times with J and the outlaws and the answer was always BUT I JUST WANT TO GET IT DONE.
J used to be really good about it when the kids were tiny but then something happened along the way and I'm not sure what it is now
On the bright side I was rarely in any particular hurry and we were homeschooling so they got to do a lot.
Yay for staying home by herself for the first time XD
I feel that it is more common to defer to convenience these days. We have been conditioned to get things fast, and want them ever faster. Just remember waiting for an image to load on the internet, or for the next episode of your favourite programme.
