[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 140807, member: 3626"] Since it is "Mom's job" maybe it is time they started paying you to do it. $0.05 for every item of clothing picked up by Mom; $0.10 for each dirty dish picked up, rinsed and put away, etc. Around here, the rule is if I clean your room, I will simply throw your items away. You get charged for my things (dishes, etc. are mine) in your room. It doesn't work now but it did when she was a younger teen. Losing stuff wasn't fun, losing money was even less fun. If that doesn't work, there's always going on strike. It's worked for more than one mom in the past. But the strike has to be serious and real -- no doing anything until the message is truly understood. [/QUOTE]
