I have 4 stepkids, ages 11, 15, 17, and 20. ALL they do EVERY day is play videogames. They basically only get up to go to the bathroom, eat, or walk to another room to play another game system. I have only been living here since October and have always let dad make the rules. They don't have any chores to do other than put their clothes away. They don't do dishes, they don't help clean up the table after any meal, they don't help with laundry. I had a basketball hoop put in hoping they would play, they don't. We have a beach a few blocks up the road that they won't go to, even if I offer to drive them. I ask if they want to go on a walk with our dog we just got last fall, they don't. You get the picture. They still get $5/week for doing almost nothing. All they do is beg to rent or buy more videogames. I told my fiance that they are lazy and need to help out more and that they always want, want, want. He mentions to them that they need to work more, they do for a day or so
