[quote=Anonymous]Agree with chore chart, and, life isn't fair, and the sooner the kids all realize it the better.  I make it very clear in our house that every kid has different wants and needs, and all of them will have all of their needs met, and some of their wants.

The one who has ADHD didn't want that, the one with cancer didn't want that, and if you lean on the third a little more, it's because you know they can handle it. And, because YOU need more help.

I would make sure your husband is on the chore chart too.  Also make clear what the consequence is for all if they miss their chore by the designated time.  Have to do an extra chore that mom usually does?

And, I would also be clear when you present the chore chart, tell them all you are overwhelmed and need their help! It's not like you're doling out chores as punishment, just that the household needs to work together to succeed and you don't think it's happening so you are making it clear to all what does need to happen.[/quote]
