That's my approach as well, granted it would be easier for me to just do it myself but I owe dhaze and apology because there is something in my life that I choose the hard way and that's some things involved in parenting.

yelling is as disrespectful as not pitching in is. i know from past efforts that there is no way that i can convince you that my home is not a place where you will find raised voices, arguments, wheedling, negotiations, punishments and the like, but i think that's at the core of it.

Since that hasn't been stated, any more than the "all the work" was posts ago....I'm sure this isn't an issue either.

agreed. I don't yell about chores (I yell about other things LOL ) but not chores - but what we always try to stress is that its a matter of respect for the people you live with and the house you share as a family to do your part - to make sure your laundry gets to the hamper - to hang up the towels on the rack after ashower, to clear rinse and put your own plates in the dishwasher etc...

<< It may take 200 times but, eventually, he is going to learn it is easier to do it right the first time.>>


Oh....that's my dream, "learn that it is easier to do it right the first time", with my oldest son.
