[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 263003, member: 6705"] That is good news that he chose a call to you! Also I think the chicken isn't really a surprise... Well... It wouldn't be for my difficult child 2 anyway. Something I have found works (sometimes), not to get something done but to get it done in a timely manner... "You have X chore to do today. If you are done with it by (the time I get home from work [B]at 4:45[/B]/noon/whatever) you get to have Y privilege tomorrow. Remember you have to do it anyway but if you do it by (whenever) you get Y privilege." I needed my kitchen cabinets cleaned and oiled, and difficult child 1 needed $20... If I paid a professional it would be about $150. So I told her if she had it done [I]that week[/I] (lots of days there), she would get the $20. If not, she would do it that weekend for free. That's the last time she did something like that for free. Considering it took a whole lot more work to earn that $20! I'm working on getting her to organize the videos right now... [/QUOTE]
