Anyone want an eleven year old? I'm ready to give mine away. Seriously he is being beyond ridiculous lately with his attitude and down right refusal to do anything he is asked/told to do.
This morning after he was ready for school he was instructed to unload/reload the dishwasher (one of his daily chores). He dicked around until it was time to leave and flat out lied that he had done it. This afternoon after I picked them up from school I still had some errands to run so I dropped Bug off at home and told him the dishes needed to be done by the time I got home. 45 minutes later I got home and he had not even unloaded the dishwasher or moved anything in the kitchen. I told him he lost his privilege to bowl tomorrow for league and gave him 30 more minutes and that was 45 minutes ago. He still isn't done with dishes because he has gone bathroom 4x misted lizards 3x and started fights with his sister more times than I can count. I don't even know what to do at this point. I'm ready to yell that his sister is now the owner of his DS (that he just got for his birthday) because that seems to be the only thing he cares about. In the time it has taken me to write this I've yelled at him 5x to do the damn dishes.
I'm just at a loss. Advice?
