[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you need to hold her accountable and not take crap from her. My kids tried this behavior on me but it was a royal fail. They don't do it anymore. Me: "please clean up this mess" DD: "it isn't my mess. It's Larlos" Me: "I asked you" DD: grumble, complain, maybe shout Me: "it takes everyone to run a house. Now you've just volunteered to [take on other chores] instead of [do something she likes]." Just make sure you apply it equally across all children. If Larlo chimes when she accuses him and starts arguing, then he is also obligated to help clean and get the same consequences for protesting. I also say: "I don't care whose mess it is. I care that it's clean. I always do things for other people" If you're firm handed a couple times and the consequences are real, then your problem and her attitude evaporate. You can also throw in a lecture about respect when appropriate.[/quote]
