[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like they need to learn to work as a team.
I would try giving them a task that requires all of them doing the same thing at the same time, like clean up the yard, chores in the house, etc.
I would tell them the task needs to be completed in (whatever the reasonable amount of time is) and if they can divide responsibilities and work as a team AND complete the task before the time is up, they can (pick something they really want to do, or some kind of incentive - invite a friend, take them somewhere they've been begging to go, etc.)
The goal is to get them realize/learn that it pays off to work as a team instead of being against one another.

One task at a time and if you and your husband participate, make it you two vs the three of them. Some things/chores, no matter how mundane, can actually be fun if you make games out of them. [/quote]

I'm wondering how old your kids are and/or how much actual parenting experience you have.  You clearly haven't experienced one sibling claiming she's doing all the work while the other(s) are slacking off.  Why should they all get rewarded when only one kid is doing the work?  [/quote]
