We had to stop with the scented and antibacterial. It is also why I make my own bar soap. Less in it that the commercial stuff.

Can he come and train mine? Please? Or at least show mine to put his trash in the trash can, dirty clothes in the hamper and dishes in the dishwasher or sink would be great.

First of all, the training needs to start as early as possible. Teach little kids, if they want to play with something, then when they stop playing, it is TIME to put it away. No excuses. Lock up the toys if you need to, only allow one game per child out at a time. I have a friend whose house is spotless. Her kids clean up their own messes. After the kids eat, if you have a dishwasher, they must dispose of leftovers , rinse dish, put in the washer. If no dishwasher, then they have assigned days to wash dishes. I used to make a chart so they knew what their chores are. Inform hubby politely that he needs to take care of the chores he is supposed to do. He is an adult, he needs to set a good example when he is home. Do not pick up his clothes. If he won't pick up he clothes, they are invisible and you can't wash them. More later, i need to throw the laundry in.

what did you do/see at the swap ?

I didn't sell a single thing! Very disappointing, but i did have all cockerels and roosters. I bought 6 silkies, then went to TSC and saw more, but resisted. They were in with LF chicks, i felt bad for them, only 3 left. But they would probably just die.
Guy next to me sold a ton of barnyard mix chicks. I had people looking for polish chicks. Of course, i sold out before i went.
I bought 5 ducklings for my friend.

Did all of that. They have no TV, Tablets or Computer. All of their toys are now locked up in my room. All they have left is the mess they have made in their rooms and beds. They are supposed to do all of that and they do if I am standing over them. Literally, I have to be right there and being a nag to get them to do any of it. They are now down to access to two sets of clothes (one they are wearing and a clean set), 1 pair of PJs, a towel, a washcloth, and a blanket. Every night after baths they are supposed to put their clothes in the washer and start the washer before they go to bed. I stay up and change it over to the dryer.
The no cooking means they get either basic canned foods, oatmeal, or sandwiches. They are currently out of bread. They have a dishwasher. All I ask is for them to take care of their dishes. If I stand there and am on top of them it happens, but if I am not right there they don't do anything.
Husband thinks he can get them to do anything. He gave them via the phone orders to do one job each. Guess what is happening. Absolutely nothing. They all vanished, but none of the stuff he told them each to do is getting done. They mostly started this stuff and I think it is the puberty thing. I have three here at home that are for sure into puberty. One who could be and the youngest being 10 I am hoping he is just doing the baby brother mimic the older ones.

I was just informed by 2 of the males that I can't tell them what to do. I walked into my bedroom and closed the door before I did or said something they would regret. I think I need a time out.

Did you go to the swap?

And Bob is having a very bad day. None of his fuel cards are working. He needs fuel and where he is none of them are working. They think it is the location, but it is the only place to get fuel with a rig and trailer that he had fuel to get to. Now I am feeling bad but I am searching for alternatives for him.

He pays for his own fuel?

Being an owner-operator yes we pay for our own fuel

I remember that age. Lots of time outs for you. It will get better

Sounds like they need an attitude adjustment. Offer them use of toys or tablets for doing their chores without being told.
