[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 531877, member: 11791"] I lived at home as an adult. And the biggest challenge was handling one-off requests. (I'm only a minor difficult child, but ADHD is a major factor.) I had a regular list of chores that were mine... and I did them within operating parameters but on my schedule. Like - clean bathrooms once per week, etc. One-offs? really hard to remember. Ya, partly because there was no vested interest, but also because there was nothing to "hook" it to in the brain. Unless it was a scheduled item and done "with"... like spring cleaning stuff, which Mom would book a couple of half-days into my calendar. We're trying to work with our difficult children to teach them to do what they see... if you go to put your dishes in the dishwasher and it's full of clean dishes - empty it. If you put something in the garbage can and it's full, take it out. It's a slow process, but it's starting to register. [/QUOTE]
