If they want it bad enough they'll make it happen :) Works with cooking dinner too, heehee. We each, the three of us, have assigned dinner nights.
Also, our house rule is, no one is allowed to sit veggie in front of the tv. You must be DOING something - a puzzle, or a yo-yo, sorting scraps, making balls of the skiens of yarn, folding laundry, making friendship bracelets, drawing stick people... I don't care, but DO
something. They've given up arguing and learned to go with it. They've also learned that their friends are very often impressed by the things they make, so these days that plays well into the formula ;)
