Tell him to clean the dining room instead then
Ah don't push yourself too hard, it's only a house, your health is much more important xDebt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -
Claire, I agree with Squizz, you've got to pace yourself and prioritise - no-one will die if you don't do the housework (unless like Linda you've got a pile of ironing about to fall over and suffocate anyone in it's path!).
Can I just say, I REALLY need to get laid. I nearly jumped a guy in Cafe Nero, first he was talking about travelling in Italy, then he was talking about how good the TV is right now, mentioning all my fave shows, even The Good Wife. I think he sensed his danger though cos him and his mate left very suddenly.
I'd forgotten that the pill works for me by killing my libido, and now I'm off it it's returning. Gah.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest!
A tiny bit of retail therapy helped though.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -

Try positive renforcement, I am a huge believer in 'star charts' and working towards a goal rather than punishing.

Ames, that did make me giggle.
Claire - get your son to tidy hte dining room and you do his room!Might motivate him to do his own room?
