[quote=Anonymous]Definitely pick your battles, because some aren't your's to fight. If she doesn't clean her plate, that's up to DH to worry about. If you're doing the cooking, though, it's up to you what kinds of foods are on that plate. On the other hand, the "house rules" concepts of cleaning up after yourself, helping with simple chores ("Larla, can you set the table please while I finish tossing the salad") are completely reasonable expectations of anyone in a household. Are you the DC area? If so, there are a million things to do in this area! Check out the Our Kids website and newsletter. Museums, festivals, zoo, farms/fruit-picking, billy goat trail, high tea at the Ritz, ice skating, etc, etc, etc Stepmother here.[/quote]
