[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 283672, member: 84"] Janet all I can tell you is what works with Travis. I actually don't ask much from the boy. Take trash to the curb. Pick up after himself. Clean his room. At present Travis is working on cleaning the stye he has for a room. This is gonna take awhile. I don't mind that as long as he's working on it. The boy doesn't get to eat (at all) if I don't see evidence of cleaning done that day. So far it's working. If it didn't I was taking his computers away next and locking them up. My house can turn into a filthy stye in record speed, especially during school. But at least Nichole will pitch in periodically, and I can twist husband's arm occasionally to help me get it clean again. Currently it's not so bad. But then I'm just getting to spring cleaning......and that tends to make it worse before it gets better. To get Travis to move......I get him where it hurts the most. He gets mad and stomps around.....but grudgingly does it. The other day I walked in on him doing dishes. I asked him why.....he said so I'd cook a meal. :rofl: If Billy is living there he should help. Period. When my house is that bad I start in a corner of a room and work my way out. God help someone if they've messed up what I've done as I'm working. I'm looking forward to Nichole's move as 80 percent of the mess with move with her. :D (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
