Of all the things that I do every time I come home this is the most irritating and most comforting. All of my family is perfectly capable of replacing their own buttons or mending a hem but they usually ask me for help. Sometimes I wish they wouldn't but then again an excuse to watch tv for half and hour is all right.
I have a tendency to ignore any mending that I need to do because I find it boring. My sweaters, shirts, and pants pile up in a corner waiting for some love but I can't be bothered. Then I go on vacation and get to do the chore that I ignore all the time for somebody else. It's really rather funny, maybe I should watch some tv when I get home and expand my wardrobe again.
