[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that a simple text works better than talking or threats. I give an hour or so to get it done in case they are in the middle of something. Hey, I would like the dishwasher emptied, reloaded with the dirty dishes, and appliances and counters wiped clean by 8pm. I really appreciate it. Thumbs up the message if that works! [/quote] This is what we do and it works. I also tell them in person it is their responsibility to set an alarm for a reminder if they choose to wait. If it isn't done, we just turn their phones to downtime until it is done. It really is not that hard OP[/quote]
