Maybe try a written list for him to refer back to? Are you calling him out on his mistakes? As a teenager who got tough love it is something I wholeheartedly agree with :). |

Thanks, everyone, for all the additional replies. We are knocking along okay the last few days. He gets a list everyday, dated with a start and a finish time. I try to keep it simple. I agree that it's partly the age and partly the gender...a bad combination . And, yeah, when he messes up, I explain what he should have done and/or make him do it again. Hope he lasts long enough to help stack the square bales when we get them in May/June (and he thinks it's hard work to shovel cow poop? ) TP&O, you're welcome to come work. How are you with a manure fork and a shovel? You'll be paid in donkey kisses. (Oh, and I love your new avatar, meant to tell you that earlier!)

I'm pretty good with a manure fork and shovel. And I LOVE donkey kisses. Thank you about the avatar, it was a candid moment caught by my mom with my camera. |
