Can I just take a straw pole & ask what kind of chores do you ask & expect your almost 11 yr olds to do...
My dd & I have an ongoing battle about the state of her bedroom .. I only ask her to keep it tidy-ish.. Put books back in cupboard, clothes in the laundry bin etc.. This she can't or won't do!
I also ask her to hang her newly ironed clothes in her wardrobe or put folded items in drawers.. This is another thing she can't seem to do.. Once again today I found it all stuffed under her bed (really not happy about this)
In my opinion she is just out & out lazy but am I asking too much?! She usually has to be reminded to shower & brush her teeth too laziness again I think.
I asked her last night if she wanted me to put the clothes away as I'd rather do that than find them screwed up somewhere & have to re-iron them... I am planning to punish her for it when she gets in from school am I right?!!
