Hey Fortress, How to you get kids to do it?
I tell them to help and I get all kinds of excuses.
Well, my kids are not yet of driving age. So if they want to be driven somewhere, like to practice or a friend's house, they might need to help out. Plus, Mr. Fortress doesn't like to shovel all by himself.
There are also many other cruel and unusual punishments that do not violate the 8th Amendment. For example, I could just stay on this forum 24/7 and that would mean they can't get on the computer and IM with their buddies or listen to itunes. (No other computers or laptops in the house. I don't want my kids going to myspace or some other evil space. I know my daughter's passwords. I check her aol history to see where she's been.) Cell phones and ipods can likewise always be taken away. Also, my kids are always very hungry and, unlike Mr. Rich, I don't like to cook anymore. So they have to be nice to me if they want all their meals and snacks. I can even get them to take out the garbage and recycling with these ploys.
What the heck does that G stand for?
