Charlee, being "one armed" doesn't get you away with anything in our house, hubby is an amputee (in a motorbike accident when he was 21, now he's 56). He gets up the ladder to lift youngest dd (age 11) up to put the star on the top of our 8 foot tree (rather him than me, I'm afraid of heights). When the kids were younger, they thought it was odd that their friends dads had 2 arms. His motto is "you can feel sorry for yourself for a very long time but everybody else will only feel sorry for you for a short time so just get up and have a go".
