Play the little perishers at their own game.
They soon learnt that to be in my household we all share the chores. Me, I'm the chauffeur, the gardener, window cleaner, DIYer, general handyman for any broken toys, bikes etc.
My wife is Head Cook and Bottle Washer, so the children have to bring their dirty clothes to be washed on the appropriate day not when they feel like it if at all.
They share the chores making drinks especially for me and mum's friends, washing up, washing and cleaning the car. raking leave and grass cuttings and in return we feed and clothe them and keep a roof over their head until it is time for them to fly the nest.
Not when they go to Uni we will let their room as soon as they are no longer part of the household.
No I am not a tyrant I am making my children responsible now so that they will grow into stable adults and have respect for their elders and betters.
Grandmas are both treated like the Queen when they visit.
Teach your children that you, their parents, are people as well and harmony in the household is far better than war.

Aren't kids just so amazing? You can yell at the top of your lungs and they just don't hear you. I believe it's called selective hearing loss. I have been trying to cure mine of this for years.

make the recipe simpler, mine goes a little like this:
4 fingers of the gin/vodka
2fingers of the other clear stuff (tonic water)
simple, concise, they get a little maths training too.
Everyone wins...

because they want to see how much they can get away with, or they made the drink but finished it each time before they got it to you

kids have selective hearing and their favourite saying is "in a minute"
