Default Can you guys get your teen kids to work with you around the house?

I can't get my teenage son or daughter to work with me around the house.

They're missing out on a lot, 'cuz they won't learn.

I guess I brought 'em up wrong, but, they're good kids (otherwise).

Anyway, just wondering if you have hints?

I can force them, of course, and I can pay them, of course, but they don't even "like" working around the house.

I'm talking things like cleaning the pool, mowing the lawn, fixing the pumps, raking the leaves, etc.

Do you have any tricks and suggestions?

I guess I should make it "fun" but some of these things aren't really fun (like weeding) no matter what I can think of.

Just wondering if you have suggestions.


I'll assume this is a troll.

Pack their stuff in plastic garbage bags and throw is out of the
house. Don't work you don't eat.

Turn off all the free stiff you gave them. Not more money to support
them. Tell the lazy *******s to go into the free world and make their
own bones to support the lazy lifestyle. Like real people do.

Stop being an enabler that you have been. Reach down to see if you
have a sack of nuts. Tough love, not some liberal pacifist that you
seem to be.

You pussy. Who the **** is in charge of your program? Spit.
