[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Nah, it’s the age and love of screens.[/b]  My 9 year old acts the same way, although he wouldn’t dare curse- he says I’m mean and it’s unfair.  Make a chore chart and stick to your consequence.[/quote]

I call BS. It’s 4:48 am and you’re on your screen calling out a kid in an objectively difficult home situation. Is it an innate lack of empathy or is it your love screens?

This is a tough dynamic because as the oldest girl, parents subconsciously already demand more household chores. That combined with the other kids issues means her parents probably don’t even notice how much more they’re asking of her. She’s still a kid. And I bet it stings to always be the one being the one getting yelled at for chores when her brother and baby sister get praise just for existing.

I have insomnia; I’m not addicted to screens.  My point was that even if everything was perfect her dd would still probably complain about chores.  That’s not what makes her a bad mom.  Now, not giving her daughter any attention is a different story.  And OP, remind your daughter that everyone will get age appropriate chores, and fair does not mean equal.[/quote]
