All I have to say is good thing I am working 3 days a week this summer. My child is making me crazy. Doesn't listen, talks back and thinks he should get money for ANYTHING he does around the house. When I was recuperating last Wednesday and my mom was gone for awhile (she had spent the week with us), I asked him to get me some water and my pills which he did right away and happily. I told him later that I appreciated him taking care of me when Grandma wasn't here and he wondered if he was going to get paid for it. WHAT?? I said do I get paid when you are sick and I take care of you?? My sister Liz bought me the above responsibility chart-it comes with tons of different chores and you change them around, etc. I told him that it didn't matter to me if he fed the cat, cleared his place, set the table, etc. every day-he would NOT see an allowance at the end of the week unless he got a magnet for Show Respect every day. I told him that is the most important one right now in this house and with other people. So far he's 0 for 4-we started this Friday . I am happy to say that it looks like he might get it today though. :)
