[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He does need to chill from the day. That said, puppy chores are nonnegotiable and need to get done before anything else.

My son has a list. Dishwasher, dog and cat, tidy kitchen from breakfast, porch light. It is on his bedroom door.  It was worth the fight to get this achieved.[/quote]

Are you the op?  If not, does your son get all the things done from the list?  If so, count me impressed![/quote]

I am not the op. I am raising an introvert who needs quiet after school. He hates when we telecommute.  My son mostly does get everything on the list done. He sometimes forgets something if he stays after school, but never forgets to let the dog out.  He gets a B- for the litter box (cleans the poop, but doesn't sweep).  He also cleans up dinner a few nights a week.

Thanks for complimenting us.  He is an exemplary child here, but you can trust that we have our own set of teen troubles (and parenting failures) with him. You would not want to follow my lead on "wash your hair".
