[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drop the rope on the fighting by getting ahead of it. Sit down with them and make a loose schedule of things to get done. The first few weeks, let them loaf. After July 4th, tighten up ship a bit. But also have reasonable expectations that they may just need the downtime. Ideas: -cleaning areas of the house (one a day) -prepping dinner -organizing a closet -make a family photo album -sign up for a class or activity -exercise each day (walk, gym, class, pool, whatever makes sense for them) -reading 2-3 paper novels (not on a screen) It's good for them to have some down time and lazy summer days. But I'd try to balance that with chores and helping the family. If they don't want to do that, they need to find something ELSE to do.[/quote] Not the OP. This is good. I will try to do something similar.[/quote]
