Parenting problem? You raised a 14 yr old this is what they do. My 14 yr old son will do the same thing unless I spell out everything item by item. No way can he do 2 related tasks. "do the Laundry" is way too general.
Waiting till he comes out of the kitchen with a snack and sits down, then tell him to go turn off the kitchen light is just fun for me. He hates it. So turn off the light when you leave........ He can't argue with logic.
We also race go karts he helps wrench. we practice Aikido 3 days a week, He looked up how to reprogram the garage door opener on the web He helped me fix it last night so he is smart. all take 2nd place to "video games". He's 14 on his way to 16 which is even more fun.
