[QUOTE="witzend, post: 176694, member: 99"] I tried counting things like that with M when he was about 14 - 15 years old. His only chore was to put the dinner dishes in the dishwasher and wipe off the table and counters. There were 3 of us, and I don't think he ever actually completed the job. It would take him 1/2 an hour to an hour. One night I just sat there and watched him quietly. I counted each time he doodled around doing something other than putting a plate in the wife or wiping a counter. I counted 57 times he got off task - and he didn't finish the job. I wish I had some advice. I just know it totally inhales to have to repeat yourself, and that it may not help to know how many times you actually do it in a week. I wanted to just give up at that point! [/QUOTE]
