[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 135167, member: 4845"] You know reading all of the replies reminded me why I did needed to come back to this site. It really helps to make me feel like I am not all alone! I do think I need to look at the whining as a seperate issue, that's a good idea. As tired as I am, I'm going to have to put some work into finding something to make her WANT to cooperate. As of late I have just been trying to make her cooperate. And I do think I need to take the game out of it, she can be manipulative-she's a smart little girl. Now if only I can modify my own reactions to her oppositionalness, where do you think she gets it from? :laughing2: I want her to fold her laundry because it's easiest for ME that she does it. She can do it alone and it won't make a mess. Perhaps I can find different chores for her to help out with that are easier for her to complete (less steps or more interactive), or maybe rotating the chores. And maybe I'll have to rotate the rewards or it can be a free choice after so many completed tasks. You all have given me a lot of ideas. :bow: [/QUOTE]
