[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 490663, member: 3444"] I sometimes feel the same way about hovering. Getting them all to do the right thing the right way is VERY time and labor intensive. BUT, I also look at hovering as part of teaching them. difficult child 2 wanted NOTHING to do with the laundry bit, even though I've showed him before how it all goes together. He claimed he didn't know what to do (as if that would get him out of it). "Well, I'm going to show you," I said smiling as I led him to the washer! Then we reviewed the chart I have taped to the washer (which was originally put up for husband's benefit since I was tired of him throwing delicates in with jeans or towels, but that's another problem for another day), and I stood there while he figured out what needed to go in the machine. Only took a few minutes, but he did well and without attitude. My three do not automatically jump up to help with things, either. But I'm working on that. I just don't want them to turn out like their dad who is oblivious to mess and chaos! [/QUOTE]
