[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 235375, member: 1233"] When we had similar problems I took a page out of my mother's book. I would say to the child doing the nasty comments things like "I need you to take the garbage out now." and "It is time for you to load the dishwasher." I got ALL sorts of chores done, esp when it was discovered that if they griped about it or argued they got another chore. I never said that if you stop picking on your sister/brother I will stop giving you chores. It took each of them a while to catch on, and sometimes I have to do it again. But generally it works. Esp if you refuse to engage in an argument. Just keep stating the chore over in a quiet tone of voice. I am sorry that easy child is being so horrid to difficult child. [/QUOTE]
