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

Just wondering if you have suggestions.


Well, are they just barely teens, or older teens?
What is your usual method of discipline?
What motivates them, and what life skills do they
lack?


Are you old enough (don't answer , rhetorical) to
remember the grasshopper/ant cartoon where the
g'hopper goes around singin' "Oh the world owes me
a livin' "? The kids these days have been
indoctrinated to expect that . From Big Brother
spit .


Hmm Seems like that cartoon sounds familiar.

If a father wants to try to teach his kids, he can only try to do
what he can. With the right tools he may actually succeed, even.
