Avoid discussion with children / teenagers for assistance in the home

I was so tired that whenever my children asked me to do a small job (like bringing out garbage) they would argue with me, why always me? Just say that to my brother, I'll do it the same (never) or you'll just get a very stupid answer and grunts.

Now I've printed and laminated several signs (10x15 cm). Here are some examples:

- Please bring out garbage
- Please bring mineral water
- Please clean out the dishwasher
- Please suck bath, etc.


This I put my kids right in the room (which of course I enter only after proper call waiting) in front of the nose where they are right now. Turn around and leave the room. Do not wait !! Immediately leave the room !!

I explained to my two in a quiet minute why I do that and that they have half an hour to do the job. It worked really well from the start.

It would be nice if someone tried the tip once and tells me his experiences. By the way: With my husband that works too.
