Something I am trying to teach my children, with only small success - if you see a job needing to be done, just do it. My youngest wants to do chores to the very letter of the law - if you ask her to sweep the floor upstairs, she has no intention of sweeping the stairs - it's someone ELSE'S job. My oldest is similar, but part of it is his disability - he does what he believes is EXACTLY as you ask (this may be in part because when he does things on his own without mentioning it to us, it's often disastrous - we've discouraged him unwittingly, because he screws that up a lot).
My middle one seems to "get it". Hence, she does her chores and responsibilities without being asked. Youngest doesn't want to do stuff like that - but to my SURPRISE, she will often do MY chores because I couldn't do them (had to leave for something, or got called away). But only yesterday, when I was putting dishes away, she said "that's (her sister) job - why are you doing it?". "Because she's at a friend's house and won't be back until this afternoon - and I am not waiting." She's getting the idea, slowly. She IS the only one of my kids who always does her homework on time, even though she's not the best student.
Life's too short - don't treat me like sh*t or you're gone. I don't need projects to work on, either.
That's what I do! Have to fight them off with a stick, I do!
