[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 105456, member: 3626"] I tried letting her sleep as long as she wanted. She'd sleep until 3 or 4 every day, do nothing and I'd be tiptoeing through my own home. It drove me NUTS!!!! So, finally said up at 10 am. She is now working, albeit only weekends. When they cut her hours at Applebee's, I suggested she either look for a new job or a second job. We don't even want to discuss the meltdown that caused. Her chores are take out the trash for pickup; put up the clean dishes, dust and vaccuum the lanai and living room twice a week, put up the clean dishes, clean her bedroom and bathroom once a week. If she doesn't clean her bedroom, I let it go. The rest is pretty non-optional but for very good reasons like being ill. I honestly could handle things not getting done and the like if there wasn't so much attitude when reminded that things aren't getting done. I don't need to be yelled at, get THE faces (hon, you're not 14 any more, cut it out), the total attitude. The funny part is that right after all the garbage reactions, she will do what is needed. So, do I stick with the deadline or keep trying? [/QUOTE]
