[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 408375, member: 4040"] I'm a firm believer in teaching kids how to do things at a young age; for example, Miss KT was about a year old when I started handing her dirty clothes and having her put them in the basket, because "if they aren't in the basket, they can't be washed." Everything was towards her eventual independence, even before I knew I had a difficult child on my hands. She can do laundry - LOVES to do laundry, in fact - knows how to make toast, sandwiches, baked chicken, and mac and cheese; knows how to clean the bathroom, but hates to do it; can run the vacuum; and make her bed. Start with small things, and work up. It's not easy to make huge changes, but it can be done. Hugs and strength going out. [/QUOTE]
