Everyone hates being told what and when to do something. Your daughter is a human being not your slave. Have you sat down and made a list of responsibilities (chores) for her to do daily, weekly, monthly etc? Make a list and allow her the freedom to get them done within a specific time period. Your dishes example, an hour seems pretty reasonable to me. Why must they be done when you say so? Is there a reason they need doing immediately after dinner? She may just like to relax after a meal and get to the dishes in an hour. What's the harm in that? If there is a.good reason then explain to her what it is.
BTW. Unless she is over 18 then it is her home also not just yours. Your are responsible for her until 18. After that you can micromanage all you want. Until then you should BOTH treat each other with respect.
If anything she is treating me like a slave.
She puts off her work just to get a reaction out of me. She probably wouldn't do them at all if I didn't tell her to.
She will get respect once she can fulfill her responsibilities like a mature adult instead of acting so immature.
IIN my daughter is being terribly disrespectful and whiny?
