We've taken a couple of weeks off because of the holidays and company, but now we are back to it. Today is Wednesday so it is a good time to start (give him only a half a week)
Jake has two weeks to "keep" his room in order. I had already given him this time and in my opinion he blew it, but his dad thinks he should get another chance. So far I've heard a lot of complaining on how he can't do it because of his siblings, who in turn argue that if he doesn't want them in his room then he shouldn't go in theirs.
Jake has not helped much today. He is supposed to be helping his siblings organize the garage and attic ( mostly Christmas stuff) but instead there has been a constant stream of complaints on Jake not helping.
Jake finally got the garage cleaned up. He ended up doing it on his own because he couldn't get along with anyone. After three times of coming and telling me it was done, it finally was.
Jake was given several chances to get his room clean today. When I left to go to the gym it looked very bad. When I got home it was in the same condition. When he realized the kids were going to be able to watch a movie before bed, he finally hopped to it, but didn't succeed until after Justice showed him what was wrong with it.
I'm letting Jake watch a movie with the kids because he took care of the garage and the Christmas stuff. -good job on that!

So, what happens after two weeks? What are the things he needs to do to succeed? Good job on the garage, Jake! I know it is hard to get back into the regular routine. I'm having a difficult time myself.
Thanks for writing this.
