[quote=Anonymous]I'm back again - so it's been about a week.  There are 2 issues that are coming up for me with my new approach.

1) Younger siblings, who were at first cooperative with helping out, even though older sibling has not been helping out at all, are now refusing to help out when the older sibling is getting away with not helping out around the house at all - even though they are older.  So now I'm picking up slack for everyone.

2) This is worse because I'm sick this week, but I'm already getting and tired and resentful about the kids not helping out.  I don't mind picking up their rooms, and making their lunches and breakfasts and dinners.  But I do mind when my daughter threatens to kill me for going in her room.  And I do mind when she complains about the lunches I make for her.  And I do mind when the younger siblings just flat out ignore me when I ask them to do something.  And I mind when they literally leave trails of mess as soon as they get home from school.  And in 3 years I still haven't been able to figure out how to get them to put their bookbags away and unpack their lunches without nagging them 5 times daily to do so, so this week I've given up and am doing it myself.
