[quote=Anonymous]That's tough. I was raised in what I guess is an old-fashioned way. You don't ask house guests to do work. But of course house guests were raised to know to offer to do certain things, to bring a hostess gift, and write a thank-you afterward. And I get the feeling your nieces won't do any of that. My 14 year old nephew spent two nights with us last summer to babysit my son while we worked. He cleaned up after himself, made his bed, asked about house rules, and was basically the perfect guest. I know my brother didn't teach him this. His mom must have (divorced). But there are people teaching kids proper behavior. However, again because I'm old-fashioned, I didn't ask him to do any chores. I just expected him to clean up after himself and he did. [/quote]
