Hi- I found SS last week by google. I've been reading and learning a lot from everyone... and was so sad to see the announcement that the old forum was closing... and then so happy to see that it has found a new home!
I'm a sahm mom, happily married, 4 kids (13,11,8,3), 2 dogs, 2 cats, undetermined number of fish, many volunteer projects and activities, and my house is usually a disaster.
Anyway, I am tired of it, so I hope that I will find support here to better manage. I really need help motivating the kids to pick up their stuff as well as maybe do something unheard of in our home (aka chores). I also need help motivating myself to keep trying to keep trying. I tend to give up easily when there are setbacks (and there are always setbacks!), so I guess resiliency is something I need to work on.
Thank you for creating this "new" forum!

hi janie; welcome! kids love games and rewards; have you tried the incentive program for getting them to help you? I hope you will find good support and help here. there are a lot of wise people with a lot of experience and creative solutions.
