[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 565877, member: 11791"] Ummm... is your sig up to date? 12yo teen male plus chores = "normal typical teen refusal"... just sayin'. Doesn't make it any less irritating. And definitely doesn't mean you take the attitude or the results. I dreamed up some "worse" chores and gave difficult child a choice between what he was doing or some "new" ones... and he offered to do something else entirely... well, as ONE of the chores, fine. He actually volunteered to do trash, because he hates cleaning and putting away - mostly because these involve doing "low" work, and... it's a LONG ways down. Most of his other chores now involve strength or height - neither of which K2 has to nearly the same degree (and she isn't short nor a weakling, just no comparison) - and once he got past the 12/13yo level, appealing to those "manly advantages" means that most chores do get done... eventually. I totally agree with thank you doing things like [B]hauling [/B]laundry! Come on, Man.... you're building muscles! [/QUOTE]
