[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 532069, member: 1514"] Dash, you are describing my issues to a T almost. No one in my house wants to do a darned thing around here but I physically cant pick up the slack when no one does. I wish I could just get mad and do it anyway and then make some sort of punishment. There is a website that you can make chores up and assign them to each person per week or day or month and have them emailed to them when they are due. Since your daughter is on the computer so much, that might be a good way to go. I tried it with Billy and he ignored it...lol. I have a huge issue with this with Billy and the words...clean the Kitchen. He takes that to mean "wash the dishes" which to him means just wash the dishes...not silverware, not pots and pans, not the counters, not the stove, not take out the trash, not sweep the floor. Nothing but wash the dishes and leave dirty greasy water in the sink overnight. It ticks me off so badly. I got up yesterday to find all the dishes from the total weekend on the counters and in the sink from Friday night through Sunday sitting there for me to do on Monday. Nobody had done anything except I guess to wash whatever they needed to eat off of during the weekend. I know the floor hasnt been washed in over two months. I cant physically wash it. It hurts. Billy isnt working a full 40 hours. He works maybe 30. Now Tony is gone from 5am till 7:30pm so I cant expect him to do a whole lot during the week. I do get a bit ticked when he made some irritating comment to me a couple of weeks ago about how I should get all the clothes folded in the laundry room. Now this really ticks me off because he cleaned it out about a month and a half ago because our old freezer died and we had to get a new one. Why in heavens name didnt he go through the clothes then and get them sorted? Why just dump everything back into the laundry room and expect me to haul it sometime later. Number one, I have no where to put most of the clothes. oh...now I have drawers for him....in the room that is supposed to be Keyanas. It has two dressers in it. If you figure out how to make anyone do chores...tell me, I cant even make myself do them. Well I want to but even standing at the sink for 5 minutes hurts. Maybe I will go see about a stool soon but Im dragging Tony to buy it. He isnt paying for much right now and that is ticking me off too. [/QUOTE]
