[QUOTE="klmno, post: 180442, member: 3699"] Well I hope I haven't triggered something- he either feels VERY good about himself for doing all this work, or I've started him on a roll. Mind you, part of my strategy was to make sure he was ready to go to bed early or on time to get a good night sleep and get up on time. He finished everything I gave him- which was quite a bit. He had yardwork (mowing & trimmer), washing car (inside and out), cleaning glass on doors, running a couple of errands with me, practicing trumpet, fixing fence, working on sliding door, helping me in his bedroom with a chore, unload wife, take out garbage. Rearrange fridge for me and maybe a couple of other short simple things. It was cheaper to pay him to do these things than hire a sitter and have WW3, Know what I mean?? But- he did a great job! Then, he rode his bike a few mins. and went to his room and lifted weights. Mind you, I had my own list of things to do all day, which I did, and I am exhausted. I asked him to go ahead and get cleaned up (thinking I could relax a short while). Normally, he takes a 15-20 min bath then showers. He was in there 10 mins total. He said he went in, showered/washed hair- he's done. Now he's ready to talk and do something else. UH-OH. [/QUOTE]
