[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds like every 13 year old boy I know. [/quote]

Not mine.

He's learned that there are basic rules to be followed in the house, and they are for the benefit of the whole family.  His bed gets made every morning.  His laundry gets put always.  And he sits & eats dinner with us as a family.

When he was younger, it was more difficult, but that is when we imposed the consequences for things like bed not made, or laundry put on the floor.

Stop enabling these young men to be disrespectful.  Dinner is the time to eat a proper meal.  Not the time to ignore the food in front of you and then go raid the pantry.

Someone give this lady a gold medal for being the perfect momager :roll: [/quote]

Whar are the consequences of bed not made? I dont make mine every day. Id love for the kids to do it but there are other hills. We have few snacks and kids are little. But even DH wont have enough dinner for whatever reason some days (late lunch, bot his fave meal) and then eat a peanutbhtter sandwich at 9 pm. Drives me nuts and upsets me that we have leftovers because not enough dinner  was consumed. But i cant nag a grown man about it. [/quote]
