Same problem with one of my sons. He gets to sit in time out and do nothing until I finish his job, after he argues and complains for 20 minutes about why he shouldn't do a 2 minute chore. Then I do more work so he can sit there bored longer.
I will trade you for a 4 year old who won't stop biting or ******** and pissing himself. I have to invent new nasty mouth treatments because washing out with soap and hot sauce do nothing.
Wait, this isnt the pet pervs thread.
Don’t make these things a punishment, guys. I simply tell my eldest (4.5 year old) when it comes time for clean up and she scoffs at the idea despite it being she who littered the floor with 200 toys, “Oh that’s okay, I guess I’ll just have to pack up all the toys mommy and daddy and Santa got you, and give them to some other child who appreciates them.” All said very sarcastically mind you so that she gets the point. Easy shmeezy.
Now, in bigb’s case, his daughter is much older and can’t be tricked with such sophomoric trickery. So in his case, he just needs to consider that vacuuming just might not be her thing, and that he may have to have an 8th child, one he can groom from a young age into one helluva vacuumer.
