[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 493393"] I didn't even send her to clean her room (though it badly needs it). I told her to find something she knows how to clean (like dusting, picking up obvious stuff, folding towels, etc) and just [I]do something[/I] to help, her choice, while I cleaned my room and did the dishes. She just flat didn't want to do anything but play the Angry Birds game on the Roku. (And having seen the price of joining band, even with financial aid, she's forbidden from joining when she gets that old - especially since she'll want to play drums!) She's agreed to help some today, but we have plans for later to go to movie and lunch, so she knows she doesn't have to complete it. She does a lot of puttering around when she does help and we use the timer (10 minutes of cleaning, 50 minutes of play). I like the rest though, and will try to remember. We'll see what the day brings. [/QUOTE]
