Just wondering.

Why is it that I have three kids who can figure out how to play a video game in one or two trys. No matter how complicated a computer game is they seem to find a way to play it .
Then you show them how to clean a bathroom, a bedroom , a kitchen over and over explaining in great detail (probably for the last 3 to 4 years) what to do.

Each and every week that they are asked to clean they act like they have never done it before or have no clue how to begin, and no interest in learning. Hello we have been over this at least once or a hundred times. I have shown you what I like done. I refuse to give up because I want them to know the basics so they don't gross out their roommates some day. Plus let's be honest I like having the help. And they are part of the family and therefore they need to do their part.

On a more positve note they did cooperate with the outside chores this weekend (far better than the indoor chores) We have a lot of propterty and there was a lot of sticks etc. to clean to clean up. We are not totally done but we made really good progress. I personally like the outdoor chores better than cleaning toilets and sinks but some jobs have to be done even when you don't like them.

It felt so good to be outside and moving around. I feel pretty good. I enjoy lying around loafing as much as the next guy but I can't take it for to long. Especially when the lying around is not by choice. I do not make a good patient because I like to always be doing something.
