Re: refusing to do chores
He finally finished at the eleventh hour & were leaving in a few minutes. Its 45 minutes away so going for half an hour wouldnt have been an option. We have an activity planned for Sunday where I could have done that with as its not as far and all day.
I do my best to set him up for success but when I do, he often plays around too much. I have things that need to get done as well. I do not have time to help him pick up his toys all day long if he wants to eat, have clean clothes, etc. I do little races with him when it seems appropriate & we accomplish things together but sometimes that is not feasible to do or he expects me to do his chores for him. If this kid can spend hours o building elaborate machines & games, he can certainly take 30 minutes or less to do a few chores.
