[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 140928"] I agree with all of the above. I don't do laundry that isn't in the basket. Haven't for years. I will tell the kids I'm doing laundry and if they have any clothes they need to bring them to me. But, I tell them once. They've learned. If his room is too hard to keep clean, then he must have too much stuff. I'd pare it down for him while he's at school. Then he can earn stuff back. As far as husband, well if he wants you to cook dinner for him then he needs to step up. Seriously, if they're not helping you then you can stop doing for them. difficult child is old enough to prepare his own food. So is husband. husband can cart difficult child around. They can do their own laundry. If they have to go to school/work in dirty clothes, it'll be their own doing. You can keep the house to a level you can live with and still go on a strike of sorts.
