[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 86508, member: 3837"] Prior to starting him on the weekly rounds of chores last week, he was doing much simplar chores. He would pick up the toys in the living room or bring dirty clothes to the laundry room. We changed our method of bringing dirty clothes to the laundry room though about a month or two ago and we love the change. So that chore has been taken off the list of possibilities. Please don't get me wrong, I DO think these chores are too difficult for him. However, it is still frustrating when you think of each individual step and how simple that one step is. My true problem is not in how difficult these chores are, it is in how to make the older 4 boys feel like he is not being "favored". When you have PCs and difficult children that are split by bloodline, it is very difficult to treat them differently, even if you know they react to different things. Not only is the favortism a problem, but so is the teasing if we were to attempt to explain why as well as all the grief we get from the 4 older boys because at youngest difficult children age, they started on chores.
