[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 663751, member: 16024"] I remember the last time Difficult Child lived with us. Dad was cleaning Difficult Child's bathroom on a Saturday morning while Difficult Child was sitting on the couch watching the TV. Dad was irritated because he didn't want to be cleaning the toilet on a Saturday morning after working all week. I was irritated because I felt like hubby partially blamed me for his having to clean the toilet. Difficult Child seemed to be clueless as to why everyone was irritated. He seemed to feel no responsibility at all for the chaos he had created. And, the strange part is that we really expected no more from him than we expect from the then-9yo (except to get a job, of course). But, other than that: don't lie, don't steal, clean up after yourself, do some chores around the house, mind your manners, use your inside voice (dont yell or curse at anyone). My little one has no difficulties with this. That is the most confounding part. [/QUOTE]
