DS (15) is more than a little 'teenage' at the moment and I am planning a 'family meeting' to try and discuss stamp out some of his behaviours.
I have been a SAHM (although I do some voluntary work) since he was little due to being a carer for another family member. As a result of this, I have always done the majority of jobs around the house. This seems to have resulted in DS thinking that it is my job to clean/clear up after him and he doesn't need to lift a finger! He made an unpleasant comment about my role this morning and I plan to tackle his way of thinking. Apart from the fact that he needs to start learning to fend for himself as he wishes to go to University in a few years time.
So prior to our meeting, I wondered what regular chores others give to their sons of a similar age. DS does mow the lawn when asked - but only if he is paid for it - but he won't even be doing that over the winter months.
