[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 55590, member: 3626"] Ugh to the watching while sleeping thing. Mine would do it to see if I was really asleep so she could do whatever she had set her mind to do. As to the chore issue, I agree it is a lot more work for the parents. At the same time, if you can perservere, they usually get the message that doing something right the first time is easier than doing it over and over. I think it usually took my daughter 6 months to a year to learn to do a job properly but once she truly cared to do it right, the idea stuck that this was easier for this chore. There is a ray of hope for you, though. Like yours, my daughter rarely did a chore properly the first five times. To get her to do a chore took constant reminders. However, when she works today, she has a super work ethic. She does her best the first time and every time thereafter. She actually got fired from one job for not showing up and her supervisor still wrote her a letter of recommendation. So, all your work may pay off much, much later. [/QUOTE]
