trust me idle time is the devil's playground with teens....so it's really good to tap into what they like and get options available
that can be a tough nut to crack with mopey, ornery teens
sometimes $$ helps

Thanks for that advice. Don't disagree with any of it. She did just pocket $1000 for getting straight A's on each of her quarterly report cards. That said, how do I get her to wash the extra dishes she dirties, especially when her mother says she shouldn't have to wash them?

Jesus titty! Last thing I would ever expect.

A grand for getting srtaight A's??? Get her in some dorky smart club then!

I try to encourage her to go in that direction, in terms of school clubs and pursuing friendships. She hates nerds and people who try hard at anything.

For the whole spacefam. This doesn't appear that it's going to improve on its own.

My children I feel are too old for me to wipe their asses but they still ask me to, daily.

Dude, when we were all calling Yada an asswipe, I think you misunderstood what we were trying to say. This is just going to be awkward now.

Both of my girls (one in college, one just out) were swimmers and kept busy with our neighborhood summer swim team. The older one is now the head coach and the younger one swims for Delaware. It was a great experience - social activities, competition etc.  They both worked as lifeguards as well. I'm sure those years weren't as rosy as I remember, but glad I didn't face Space-like dilemmas on the reg.
