My son is 11 and lately I've been feeling like he isn't responsible enough for his age. I'm old school too and raising him to take care of himself. He knows how to do dishes, laundry, etc. but I usually have to tell him (or yell at him) to do it. To me it would be nice if he took more initiative and helped out more cause he wanted to. To show me he appreciates all the things I do for him. It seriously makes me want to stop going out of my way to make his life as good as it can be when I don't feel he appreciates it. Maybe I'm being unrealistic but it really stinks and I'm having to dish out more consequences lately to get my point across. I'm worried he's gonna be spoiled or self-centered or something. Any advice?
