[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wait you are not doing dishes and there are two male teenagers involved? No husband? You expect the two teenagers to work it out between themselves on who’s doing the dishes? If all of this is true, I think you need to assign days.[/quote] Op. Nope, I’m not doing the dishes. I initially assigned each one a task (you empty, you fill) but told them they were free to switch and bargain as long as it gets done. That’s totally reasonable. They are not babies. So yes, I do expect two teenagers to figure this out. Both kids are highly disciplined and accomplished in their areas of interest, so I realize this is NOT a frontal lobe executive function development issue as someone suggested, it’s pure ‘mom will take care of this for us’. And it’s going to end this summer :) [/quote]
