The Hardest Thing to Get Kids to Do

What’s the hardest thing to get kids to do? I mean, other than putting their shoes on, brushing their teeth, cleaning their room, stop picking up the cat…

Mark Bayley: Believe me when I try to tell them the easy/smart/right way to do things.

They’ll have to learn the hard way like I did, I suppose.

Joshua David McCall: Well as I stand here listening to my step daughter whine about having to go a few hours without her phone, I am going to have to say telling the kids to put the electronics down.

Michael Austin: Just the stuff between waking up and going to sleep.

Shawn Long: Clean up after themselves….they carry on like you are having them do customer service at Walmart.

Peter John: Leave home.

Matthew Clark: Everything. Unless she wants to.

Josh Gottschalk: Getting them to NOT touch the thing I just said “don’t touch”!

Bart Knight: What ever needs to be done at that moment.

Chelsea Fuentes: Find something.

David Bailey: Respond to their own name?

Jeffrey Wienckowski: My taxes.

Andrew Newsham: Yup, my kids won’t do Jeffrey’s taxes either. Even when I let them use turbotax!

Susan Wagner: Make my margarita just the way I like it.

Kevin Maley: Go to bed.

Robert Romaszewski: Get them to do anything the first time you ask.

Nick Cooper: Brush his damn teeth!
