I Feel Like My Family Is Walking All Over Me

Sick to your guns! No chores? No TV. They'll be doing chores in no time. But your husband needs to be in on this also.

As soon as I notice that ds isn't doing his part around here all of his electronics get locked. I change all of his passwords, take his xbox remote, and put locks on all of the TV electrical cords.

I'm mean, though.

My DHS is worse than my kids, everything he touches he leaves out. I have started throwing everything of his, that he leaves out, behind the couch. It is a huge sectional, so he can't just move it. He has to crawl over the back to reach, especially if it is small like his ear buds

Thank you all for the replies...I was gone last week for training and I think everyone realized how much I really do around the house. Came back to a spotless house And the chore chart is working...we have an ice cream man that comes every Sunday, if they don't have enough chores to make up their money then they don't get ice cream that week (10 cents for every chore)

I have two kids (17 &12). The oldest is pretty good about stuff but my 12 y/o isnt so attentive. I have to really get on her to get her to do things like pick up her room. She always leaves stuff out after making her lunch or whatever. I always tell my kids that Im not there slave and they need to pick up after themselves. Luckily my husband is pretty tidy. I would hold a meeting or whatever you have to do. They need to pitch in some. Good luck!
