Maaaaan my grandma had us doing baseboards, cleaning bathrooms alls sorts of stuff at that age
@Harlie with his fucking attitude I want to do the damn same. Hell just now he threw a huge fit. So earlier we took out air conditioners upstairs in our oldest daughter’s room and started moving his stuff in there because they’re only here every other weekend since they’re with their mom most of the time, and apparently taking the air conditioner out invited a bat in. Cause I was hanging out just waiting for his shower time and all the sudden he is SCREAMING that there’s a bat in the house. So got that taken care of and he then refused to sleep upstairs. I finally gave in I said ok fine whatever but you will ABSOLUTELY NOT be sleeping in my bed. Ten minutes later he goes in and lays on my bed anyways. And since he passed out so fast my husbands like just leave him be babe. Well he was sleeping on my side of the bed, so I asked him to move. Like ten times. He just kept smacking at me and yanking the blanket over his head. So I finally pick him up and gently toss him to the other side
@Harlie and the way he acted you’d swear I killed him. Scream crying, throwing himself around. Like damn dude fucking take a chill pill I told you not to sleep in my bed but especially not on my side. Move the fuck over, make room for your sister, quit being a butthole. He’s back asleep now but MANNNNNNN he pisses me off sometimes.
@Katie read these ideas to my husband and he heard and in the worst whiny voice ever “nooooooooooo mom I’m not doing thoooooooose.” You’ll do what your told dude something has to change
Lmaooo 😂😂washing the dishes, cleaning the table, setting the table, cleaning the counters and folding his own clothes. Obv he might not do them all correctly you can fix it after he’s done but it helps w giving him something to do to show him you do a lot as well. Also giving them chores isn’t just a punishment it’s giving them responsibilities. My mom had us doing chores as well it wasn’t an overwhelming amount but cleaning the counters setting the table helping with dishes and we would all take turns (starting at age 5 or 6)
Sweeping the kitchen. Get a short broom or break a long one and tape the end so it's good length for him. Have him separate laundry after its washed. Fluff the couch pillows and wiping/dusting (windows, end tables, coffee table, kitchen counters, mirrors). Put away the dishes after they've dried from washing. Putting new trash bags in after dad/mom throws it out.
