[QUOTE="witzend, post: 212904, member: 99"] I hope that you will start feeling better soon! Asking for help was the right thing, I agree. Heather, I would have bopped her one if she had the nerve to ask me if the dogs had been fed while you were so sick, knowing full well that she hadn't done it herself. It sounds as though she needs some family chores. It's probably better than making a list of things to do when mom is sick, because they'll both come wake you up and ask if you are too sick to feed the dog. Are they doing their own laundry? If they already are, there's no reason that they can't add a load of towels to their burden. Towels don't take any time to wash and fold. Do they get an allowance? If so, they shouldn't get allowances until they have done chores. If not, then there's something else that they can go without if they haven't done chores. Batteries for a game or music player, favorite shampoo, whatever small luxury it is that is a constant money drain. easy child should be in on this too. They need to know that as part of the family, they are responsible for making sure that things get done, as well. [/QUOTE]
