How do you feel about spreading certain responsibilities between the different aged children in the home?
Like my 6 year old son is mostly responsible for cleaning his room, putting his laundry away, taking his laundry down, setting out napkins and placemats for dinner. He goes about being a good little son and hardly whines or complains...
My 12 year old daughter is a major whiner-She will not clean her room unless you threaten to ground her from the computer or going to her friends. She growls and stomps and is such a quiet little angel to everyone else and flies off the handle in private with us and it's like walking on egg shells! I've tried to motivate her to to be involved but she says 'Not right now' all the time! She acts so put out like a horrible spoiled brat and it's like, do I know this kid? (Ugh) Her chores, picking up table, scoop litter box (sometimes), feed/water the cats, clean room and gather dirty and put her clean laundry away. It's not all that hard of a life!
