  • It doesn't sound like you did tbh. Micromanaging someone to the point they do sloppy work and talk back means the teacher failed. Some people respond to your dictatorial approach, others rebel against it. I'm the latter. If given a list and the freedom to accomplish it on a schedule i will work so hard your head will spin. If im stood over and barked at i will be a living nightmare for you.

    Just saying.

    Maybe you need to learn more about how to effectively manager your daugther.

    • How am I acting dictatorial for telling her what needs to be done? She already knows how to do it right too.
      I'm trying to get her to consistently do it when it has to be done.

      • You're telling her it needs to be done when you say so. Since you don't give specifics other than she does dishes after an hour I assume you want it done immediately after a meal? Why? Some people like to enjoy their meal and let it settle after.

        If I'm off base correct me.

        Just from the tone of your writing you sound like a dictator to me. Sorry just my take. I'd hazard a guess she does em half assed cause you piss her off with your constant nagging and lack of explination as to why dishes "have" to be done immediately.

        You can't even tell ME why.

        • If I just let her do it whenever she feels like she will think she can do whatever she wants. It is about keeping structure in the house.
          I am also making her do her own laundry. She can do that just fine, but dishes? "I'll get to it later."
          If she keeps this up she will end up like her older brother.

            Sounds like you've failed before.

          • I'm not suggesting to let her do whatever.
