About cleaning:

OT gets overwhelmed by being the only one to do certain everyday tasks and fusses at the girls if they are not helping.

cj knows this and tries hard to get the tasks done but doesn't ask the girls.

I recognize this and try to teach the girls to do things they are going to have to know when they are grown anyway.

traici just wants someone to notice when she does something and to be told that she did a good job.  If she doesn't get praised, she loses motivation.

TA doesn't care and will leave whatever to be done later.

The littles are too little to think to do something without being told, though the older ones are generally good about finishing a task if they show up in the middle of one.



I just realized that although TA is as young as some of the others, I don't group her in with the littles.
