Hi There
Every single time I ask my 18 year old son to do something I always get the same reply............"What Now" so I now ask a request in the following way............."Please can you pick up all the towels off of your bedroom floor........YES NOW!!!!!!"
After a while of doing this he started to ask "Why do you always say "'Yes now' after you've asked me to do something!"
Men!!!! So sad in one so young!!!!

The youth of today eh!!

My son brought a nice girl home once, and they offered to do the washing up. Next thing she was asking him how long he had lived at home, and wasnt it time he knew where things were kept. I've always regretted he did not marry her!

Be like me, my kids jobs are tidying their rooms, emptying and loading the dishwasher, when they wipe kitchen sides down and they empty rubbish and recycling at the same time.
I have no problem being taxi driver, washer woman etc as long as they remember this when I want a favour, oh and it helps to have a really loud shouting voice and a fiery temper too..
