[quote=Anonymous]I recently added cleaning the (2) bathrooms to my daughter (13)'s list of chores, but she has proven extremely hostile to the idea, labeling it as 'disgusting' (which it admittedly is) and has been complaining to her friends about it, and claims they don't have to do many chores at all and that I am being unreasonable.

For some basic detail I expect her to: scrub the inside of the toilets with bleach and wipe down the mirrors and sink twice a week, and scrub the floors and the shower over the weekends. The bathroom is admittedly filthy most of the time, which makes cleaning it a fairly unpleasant task and one that I will not be missing, though I suspect this is mostly down to her and I suspect it will become miraculously cleaner once she realizes it is her job to clean it. Her other chores consist of walking and cleaning up after her dog; cleaning her room (though this is more a suggestion as it only affects her if it is filthy); making a meal once a week just so she learns how to; and emptying the bins around the house. I don't give her an allowance but I do pay for most things she wants provided she keeps on top of her chores.

Overall I just want to check that I am being reasonable as her reaction has made me doubt myself slightly.[/quote]
