[quote=Anonymous]I would start by not fixing the kid breakfast or lunch. By 11 they can and should be doing things for themselves. If they ask, say you're a big kid and your mom expects you to do that yourself. She hiredme for the little kids. If they say they're bored, tell them their boredom isn't your problem and yyou're happy to come up with a list of chores they can do to relieve their boredom. If they continue to be bored, assign a task and tell them they can't complain until it's done. Tough love. They'll get pissed and tell their parents and either the parents will realize the kid needs more supervision than they thought and you'll get your raise, or they'll back you up and tell the kid to be more self sufficient. Either way you win, but stop letting kids rule the roost. [/quote]
