[quote=Anonymous]And yes no bribery - this needs to become a "this is what we do in our family, we help each other and take care of our home" thing, but that will take some time to build. It's okay - they are still young OP, you can totally do this! It will feel hard now but be so much better later. And don't just come up with these expectations in your head and then start placing them on them, they won't get it because they weren't expectations before. Maybe start having sunday family meetings. At the first one talk through very simply and not in a threatening way, that you are going to try some new things as a family. Give them a couple small expectations. Then practice that week. Then check in the next week. And don't make it "and if you guys do this great this week we will go to ice cream!" that will get you temporary behavior but it won't last, it's not what you need. You have to work on building the family values in the home and sticking to it. you got this! [/quote]
