Getting TEENAGERS to WORK

When naming the children, did I realize how much I would love to recite their names? Coaxing and proding a teenagers/children to work might be done better if a cattle prode were used, however, a trip to social services doesn't quite fit into the Sat. plans. So I find myself repeatedly stating Brandon's name as he moves from one half-done task to the next, meanwhile, I follow Carson around because he also forgets to complete his task. I have to STAY with him for him to even take 1 trash can

I even started out today by a NEW tactic! At noon, after plenty of sleep and screen time, I hugged Brandon for 3 minutes and said how much a I loved him and missed him during the week and could we spend some time catching up.
