[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 86320, member: 84"] Yep. I have the same issues as Fran. Travis just doesn't get the chore thing. No matter that we've worked with him for the past 18 or so years. I've tried anything and everything over the years. The only thing that works to is keep on him to do them, and make him redo ones not done properly the first time. And yeah, it was really grueling when he was younger. Not quite as much now. I think more so when he was young because we had so many other issues going on at the same time. These days he and even his sisters often surprise me with how much of what I taught that they managed to tuck away. I imagine as they continue to age and mature I'll see more tidbits. (I hope) But when I was down in the trenches that could be awfully hard to remember, especially on really bad days. As far as chore, one thing that helped us.... Each kid had their own. Chores didn't change off til a child left home and others stepped up to fill the gap. Too much change and Travis would fall apart. Remember to catch breaks whenever you can. Hugs [/QUOTE]
