Thank you Mark.
Just knowing that I can ask you questions and get a response is really helping me through this difficult time.
My son only doesn't want to do chores because he hasn't needed to as I did everything for him in the past. However when he complains I explain that I made a mistake, - I thought he was still young and forgot he is growing up and that at 14 it is time to learn to do things for himself. It is slowly working as he unpacked his weekend table tennis bag instead of emptying it upside down.
Many many thanks.
Kind regards.
