[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 506529, member: 3907"] DDD, I agree that you're on the right track. I don't think you're being mean, but rather giving difficult child#1 the opportunity to develop an essential life skill. My difficult child will do the bare minimum that's required of him. So far, the only way we've had success in getting him to do things for himself (ranging from tying his own shoelaces to eating -- not even preparing food, but actually eating it without being spoon-fed) is to stop giving any help at all.
