OK, someone please tell me the trick with teens and chores!!!

My skids, 13 & 15, will NOT do chores of any kind and it is driving me up the wall! It's not like I want them to do everything, but I do think they should, at the very least, clean up after themselves and keep their rooms cleaned up. But no. You open the door to their room and it looks like a tornado just went through! They do not do their own dishes, they leave wet towels after their shower all over the floor, they do NOTHING! I am so sick of running around trying to clean up after 3 kids!

Counseling

Over the past month or so, FH and I have been doing a lot of work on our relationship, issues with BM, and skids. We actually followed through with this and went to our first session last week. It was just the introduction session, but I have a great feeling about this Dr! We have decided to continue sessions in hopes of creating better communication between us. I am also hoping to learn a few techniques on dealing with the psycho BM. Lately, I've felt like I am the only woman FH is worried about keeping happy, which is a great feeling!
