[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m only responding to commiserate. I can’t get my teen and tween to help around the house either. [/quote]

I can’t either but neither could my mother.  We would go to school and we would come home and find dirty clothes gone, bed made, clean clothes hung up.

The laziest thing we did and I feel bad about this was when she would go shopping and cleaning she would put things on the stairs that needed to go up.   My father used to ask everyone to bring one thing up with them and put it away.  Nope.  He also used to ask us to keep one cup for the day.  Refill it when it’s empty instead of getting a new one every time you want a new drink.  Nope.

I don’t know what it is or why some kids are fine with helping out and some refuse.  [/quote]

No surprise you can't get your kids to help out around the house.  Nobody taught you how.  If you read all the comments you'll find that those parents who don't accept their kids not helping have kids that help.  It all has to do with the parents attitude and consistency.  [/quote]
