We all know the image of himself that Jason likes to present to the world: rugged outdoorsman--into big trucks, noisy power tools, and getting covered with grass, dust, tree clippings and mud. He loves to play video games, listen to classic rock, watch action movies, grow out his beard, and he can single-handedly lift a piano. Pretty tough guy.
But don't let the grey shirt and dirty jeans fool you. Jason has a flip side, and I think my week on bedrest has really brought it out.
Whether it's a result of his strict upbringing (not allowed to sit on the "good couches," etc.), his desire to please me, or his fear of Benjamin (who is even more strict than I am about keeping the house dust-free so his asthma stays under control), Jason really does know how to keep the house in pretty good order.
He's not afraid to wash dishes, vacuum, do laundry, or even cook. I'm not saying he does it just the way I would, but I'm not overly worried about how I'll be able to catch up on everything when I come back to all my old chores. The house is actually pretty presentable. And I'm really grateful.
So grateful that I think we should all encourage Jason to continue to explore his inner domestic self . . . don't you?

Good job Jason! Keep up the good work...for a long, LONG time!
You are really lucky that Jason is willing and able to help you with the kids and around the house. I would say he is not at all like his father-in-law in that respect.
I'm glad that you are feeling a bit better.
