solution!? There are two boys ages 9 and 10. Between them they have two dogs, a cat and a guinea pig. Their chores when they come home from school is to feed these animals. It is split fairly between them and changes so they don't get board. They will "forget" to feed them, will lie and say they have and the animals have nothing etc, etc. These boys have been grounded from TV, Nintendo, playing at the park etc. Yet they keep neglecting their dogs. An idea has been passed through a few of the friends of the parents of these kids. The main suggestion is to make them go through breakfast and lunch with no food, while watching their siblings eat. (This is what the dogs do) Also to make them go without water, to make them realize how terrible it is to be thirsty. No nasty comments please, if you don't agree tell me why and give me a great idea to pass on. Thanks ahead of time.
