[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 501851, member: 11791"] Ummm... the dishes thing is a totally typical, typical teen thing. Just like... practicing music, doing homework, and cleaning your room. difficult children might push the reaction a bit farther, but the end result wouldn't be much different. Even parents of TTs complain about this one. I'm learning to NOT ask for a specific chore. Ever. (that sequence = blowup of some sort) Instead... I drop a list on the table after supper... (before anyone leaves the table) that lists the things that need to "get done around here"... and each person has to pick TWO chores to do in the next 3 hours. I'm getting less pushback (not zero... that wouldn't be normal, either). [/QUOTE]
