Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 26, 2011
Transcript:
Dad: "I'm going to tell Luann to clean her disaster zone of a room!" Mom: "No, honey, wait!" Mom: "Don't waste an opportunity. Pick a time that works to our advantage. Use her mess as leverage" Dad: "Leverage?" Luann: "I'm off to the mall, 'k?" Mom: "Ok, just as soon as you clean your room" Luann: "UGH! Fine!" Dad: "Wow. Nicely played" Mom: "Being a good parent is a profession. It takes years of study"

There’s only one problem with this approach from Nancy. Luann will now go and throw everything into her closet and under her bed so she can get out to the mall.
Maybe that’s better than not cleaning at all, but it’s also not really the desired result.
The leverage idea is the one that works, true enough, but it needs to be used when she has the time to do it right, not when she’s rushing to get out the door.
