[QUOTE="Josie, post: 245804, member: 1792"] I sympathize. We struggle with this issue, too. For my difficult child, it didn't work to try to figure out what she would "like" to do because she complains no matter what it is. We finally assigned her to help with the dishes after dinner and to unload the dishwasher. If she doesn't do it, she gets her allowance reduced and/or her privileges (TV, computer, cell phone, going places with friends) removed, depending on the situation. I also tell her she will be fired from her job if she is too unpleasant or doesn't do it right and she will lose her allowance, which would cramp her social life. She still has her days of chore refusal but at least she has a consequence for it. Fortunately, for us, she likes her $ and social privileges enough that she is fairly compliant. What does your difficult child like to do? [/QUOTE]
