A few years ago when the two " snowthrowers " I had ( my boys ) got older and too busy to shovel anymore , I bought myself a snowblower . Additionally , we own our share of hats and gloves and coats and scarves and know how to dress for the weather . We all have ice skates , and snow skis and snowbords stand ready and at attention .

Question: Why have the boys stopped helping with the snow shoveling at home ?
Answer: They are no longer being paid to shovel , and are not interested in doing it for freeAs they have gotten older , they have become less interested in helping as readilyNone of the above choices .They both have a degenerative muscle condition , which makes manual labor difficult
