[quote=Anonymous] OP - Do not second guess yourself as you know your daughter and perhaps things have evolved into a certain pattern, but it sounds like you and DH are willing to parent. Now she can expect that you and DH are a team and will follow through on what you say. Unless she is an only child, it would be a good time to go over "House Rules" on respect etc. with all of your children. She sounded prissy in not being willing to help you, but let's say you caught her off guard. Time to have some stated chores around the house for little Missy and if pre-meal set-up or prep could be one a couple of nights AND/OR why should you be cleaning up and taking out the trash after preparing the meal. Time for her to learn to run the dishwasher, wash pans and take out the garbage. If you can be flexible, give her an option on what she would like to do and then decide what other siblings might do. Again, good parenting.[/quote]
