[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that helped me was to have them unload the dishwasher while I ran a timer. That shocked them and put an end to their whining about how long it took. Then I did the same for hand washed dishes, counters, drying big things, etc. No more excuses about game days or homework or whatever. Unless they are literally in the Olympics that week or in the final stages of creating a novel vaccine, they have the time to do it. [/quote] Op here this is a great idea. A timer. And yep, I hear those excuses ‘I’ve got lifting AND practice today!!’ or ‘I had to work today’ (and I didn’t??). I want them to learn and notice how much there is to do, and how we all have to find time to chip in [/quote]
