[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 569772, member: 15473"] Well I came home last night to an even bigger mess in the kitchen. I didnt say a word just walked it off and decided to take a picture if it wasn't taken care of by bed time. Not long after that difficult child asks if she can have a friend over. I said no. She says why not? I said because the dishes aren't done and your room looks like a bomb went off in it. Once you clean it up she can come over. An hour later her friend shows up at the door and her chores are still not done. I proceeded to remind her multiple times that unless it was taken care of her friend would have to leave. Of course she was blowing me off about it but after about the third time she got the point I was not going to lose my cool but I wasn't going to let it go either. She did it. Of course her room is full of dirty laundry so that didn't get completely done but it did get started. I just got done texting her the following: Do not plan to leave the house today until your chores are done and your room is picked up. I was very dissapointed that I had to ask you to do your chores in the first place. I was more dissapointed when it was not done before your friend came over. If you want me to respect your age and your relationship with the boyfriend then you need to do your chores without me having to complain. I think that was about a peacefully said as I am capable of for today. Hopefully she will get the point. [/QUOTE]
