You can't. Just tell her what you expect and give her a guideline or time when it is to be done. Reward her unexpectedly and use positive renforcement

Sit down and talk with her. Discuss the things that you would wish her to do. As a reminder, post a list of these things on the fridge. Give her points for everything that she does. At the end of the weeks, if she has total points equalling 75% of the things on the list. (You can change the percentage if your wish), give her a reward. Ice Cream at Mickey D's or something inexpensive like that.

Get her a** to help you around the House -you're the parent, she should worry about pissing you off and not the other way around.

Rewards, rewards. Make a schedule for her work as part of the family, and have rewards after periods of time and jobs well-done. Don't bribe her with money, but come up with creative rewards that will let her know her work is appreciated--activities you can do together, favorite meals, having friends over for movie night, etc.

Because I still have to do house chores for my mum, just say to her if you do it now I will stop on at you and just talk to her to understand why she won't take some responsibility as she has to live there as well. Keep the talk causal though.

You need to teach her to do chores. This will help her later in life in doing real jobs. Talk to your husband (the father) before you talk to your step daughter and insure you have his support.

Always make sure you let her know how much you honestly do appreciate her help... & when she does help, make sure to reward her with something, even if it's just bragging on her a lot.
