[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you put "school" in quotes if they are in late elementary school?  I thought this meant daycare.

I have two boys in fifth and sixth grade.  I am not going to say that there is no work involved in parenting them because they definitely have their own needs.  But they can make their own breakfast and lunch, and it certainly isn't more work to get them to do chores than it is to do them myself.  Maybe you need to change up your parenting style and be a little more hands off.  [/quote]

Same I was thinking kids under 10 like  1-5 years old.  LAte elementary is like 10-12 years old. Old enough to be in charge of brushing hair/teeth and getting dressed for school old enough to be helping with chores around the house a little bit.

Try it out OP it will be hard at first, but worth it.  You can even add rewards or incentives if they do well with it.  Just institute that they need to do their chores/homework before screens every day even on the 2 days with mom and if it's not done the lose screen time, meaning you lock all their devices. I may even consider doing this as a team approach , meaning they all do their part or they all lose screens.[/quote]
