[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 105417, member: 84"] Is there a reason you require her to be up by a certain time of the day? I ask because with 2 grown kids at home I don't tell them when to go to bed or when to get up. I also don't wake them for school/work/doctor appoints and such either. I know other parents act like I'm crazy over the not waking them up part, but I figure that's their responsibility. I haven't woken them up for anything since their freshman yr in hs. As far as the chores go, I still have to nag mine. Although I haven't had to growl lately. lol I just revolk transportation as necessary and they get the idea. Is there any chance she'd be more cooperative with the chores if you could relax a bit on her sleeping habits, or has this been major issue in the past? I'm just wondering if maybe she's feeling a bit too mothered and is passively rebelling against it. I'm not pushing the chore issue with mine too hard because I know they're trying on other fronts. Chores and sleeping just aren't major battles for me. Maybe you should have a sit down talk and see if a compromise can't be made. I mean if it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. But you'd be showing difficult child you're willing to work with her to make it work as long as she's really trying. Hugs [/QUOTE]
