Kind of 3 questions in one. What responsibilities do your children have? And what are some effective ways of getting them to listen? What do you do if they don't? I am getting to the point where I am so frustrated with my almost 3yr old. I will ask her please don't, whatever it may be, and I ask again and by the 3rd time I am ready to explode and she just looks at me like I am the dumb one. The responisiblities, I don't think that it is to much to ask that she put her own toys away when asked or do something small. But most of the time, I get the response of "no". Or in the case last night DH gave her a treat and she dropped one on the floor, he told her to pick it up and she told him that he could sweep it. With her toys, I have told her that I am going to throw them away and she says in the garbage, okay. I have resorted to packing half of her toys away and am going to rotate them. But, anyways I know that she is 3 and I'm sure doing what 3yr olds do, but I need a different approach or ideas. It is really frustrating me.
