[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 281151, member: 1233"] I am unclear as to how old he is. But, assuming he is in his teens, it is very reasonable for you to expect him to do a few things. It is also reasonable for him to pay for petrol if you have to take him somewhere you don't normally go, esp if it is for work. He should also be footing the bill for any snacks he wants just for him, any outings that you don't plan on as being family events, etc... As a teen I did my own laundry, cooked many of the family meals, cleaned up after those meals and while I was cooking I washed anything I wasn't going to use again. Making up a roster of chores, including ones you do like bill paying, and assign them to specific people. It can stay the same, or jobs can rotate each week. That depends on the people doing the chores. My bro rarely dusted or vacuumed, and I rarely cut the grass. It was what worked for us. Sending (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
