He promised to do them when he got up. Then at about 3:30 p.m. I told off the DS for leaving his bedroom door open when Daddy was sleeping. Well, Daddy was up but hiding in our room reading a book. Meanwhile I was sweltering in the living room wishing I could open up our room and create a cross draft. So I reminded him of his promise and went to lay down as my migraine was pounding. He, naturally, slammed the door in anger as he didn't want to do the dishes, but they did and I responded with a yummy supper as thanks. The man and the kids did the dishes this afternoon.

I've got a month and a half before we start in August. I sure hope that DS is able to understand that while learning to delegate is a good tool to have it is also important to know how to do the work you are assigned. You may want to try the tactic of if he doesn't learn how to do something, assigns the task to his younger sister then one day he'll wake up to find out that she know A LOT more than he does and has passed him by in school! :D Perhaps that will motivate him. I understand how you feel about the dishes. I can't really get anyone around here to do much with the dishes unless hubby wants to do something in the kitchen, it's a mess and I'm not here to take care of it. :lol: I just feel so bad about that. ;) Congrats on beginning your new school year.
