What punishment should a 12 and 14 year weak capture for not doing their chores?

They have to clean their rooms,take out trash verbs bathroom and wash dishes and wipe down kitchen counters and sweep the floor.
Are they slaves?
What the heck do you do nought?
God help them both. Hope they run away soon and get a loving family to live near. A family supposed to work together. That includes the ADULTS as well.
Those are a lot of chores for a 12 and 14 year old to do ALONE. But if they each do partially then that's fair. Tell them that if they do not do their chores then the TV and computer will be taken away for a month, They can't hold friends over for a week, and they get extra chores. Make a routine. After you wake up make your bed, verbs the bathroom after you use it, wash the dishes after dinner, wipe down the kitchen counters after breakfast, Sweep the floor after dinner and take out the trash when it's full. If they still continue not doing them afterwards I have a great idea.
Whatever chore they don't do they can't use. For example. It they dont use the dishes they don't get plates. If they don't brand name their bed they have to sleep on the floor and things like that.

Good luck
I agree with a lot of the answers, thats A LOT of chores for 12 - 14 year olds.

How going on for take something away from them until they complete the chore. (electronics or things that they use often like the computer, TV, ipod, wii, nintendo ds, camera, etc.)

I wouldnt proscription them from going outside or playing sports, dont you think thats kind of harsh for not doing their chores, especilly surrounded by the summertime.

Hope i helped x
Well, hopefully not the punishment recommended in the Old Testament - taking 'em out to the village gates and stoning them to passing! ...although I must admit there were times when my kids be about that age...

In most cases, deprivation seems most likely to receive through to 'em. Deprivations such as you can't watch t.v. until chores are done, y'can't get on the computer until chores are done, y'gotta hand yer cell over to mama or papa until chores are done...oh, and homework too, when university has resumed!
In this day of racing technology, kids are "plugged in" adjectives the time. How about taking away their cell phone, their iPod, no computer time - things of that nature.
Not that I'm there yet (I enjoy a 6 mo old), but from a high school teacher's perspective, perhaps you should insist that they do them first entry (the next day, when they get home from institution, etc). The best form of discipline, I believe, are not consequences but simply learning how (and being told) to do what they need to do. If you are dealing near outright refusal, you could tell them that they are demonstrating that they are not mature enough for ____________ privilege. This privilege could be withheld until they fulfill their responsibilities (the chores). Perhaps it could be watching TV, using the computer, playing sports, or one of their hobbies. Source(s): The philosophy come from new educational theory on discipline (that is in truth old fashioned in its approach!)
Make sure you differentiate between punishment and consequence. Try not to use the word punishment if at all possible.
Teenagers have need of to learn that for everything they do in life in that will be a consequence, either a good one or a bad one. That's the path life operates.
I find that with my teenagers mostly when they don't do chores is because I enjoy not defined them properly. Make sure you have a list written that they can clearly follow and understand resourcefully. If you have already done that, then put in writing what will come to pass if the chores are not finished on time. This should be discussed AND agreed upon by children and parents alike. Then the kids will take ownership and are very credible to abide by it.
Example: if I do not take the rubbish out by 5pm each week night, I do not return with to watch the television for that evening. And then follow through near it.
Now I do not need to give my kids a consequence for not doing a chore. They hold each other to what they adjectives agreed upon. Less work for me... Source(s): http://www.yourchildcanbehave.com
OH PLEASE! For adjectives those saying this is to many chores are you nuts? Ever grow up on a farm? You parsimonious actually expecting your kids to HELP is asking to much? Parents work, clean, fix cars, shop, cook, take strictness of the bills, do the medical things necessary for the kids and having them help is asking to much? WOW no wonder our country is going to pot! Advice is simple, craft them do the chores before they can do anything else. Take away TV, cell phones, friends do whatever is needed till they get the thought. Just dont pamper them and make them into little queens like these citizens seem to want. Source(s): OLD SCHOOL

that's aton of chores for 12 to 14 year olds cut the list down. and then possibly they'll get their chores done. if you cut the list down but still find that they don't do them take away priveleges close to watching tv, going on the computer, or going to friends houses/not having friends come over.. hope this information helps!

If they capture an allowance, take it away. You may also want to send them to their rooms until they decide to do their chores.

No friends, video games, sports, TV, music, cell phone, computer, etc. until the work is done.
Take away in attendance phone, tv, any communicatons,
Well it depends how long they get. I would dispense them 2 days. But warn them. If you guys don't get these down in 2 days. Your both grounded for a week. Then simply tell them, i told you.
Answers:    offer a reward for whoever finishes the chores first, if that doesn't work just ground them, hold away the computer.
Don't you assume their doing a bit too much?
What is left for you to do?
You cant use them as some sort of slave labour.

Maybe just label them clean their own messes like Bedroom etc.
Not clean up yours too
they should get something taken away that they like to do. like my parents rob away my cell fone if i dont do my chores.
Tell them the next time they fail to do their chores you will add secondary chores for them to do.
tell them that they are adopted.
Wow.. thats a lot of chores.. Do you do anything yourself.. ?
That is a lot of chores. How about cutting it fund to keeping their rooms straight and washing the dishes. What exactly are you doing while they're cleaning your house top to bottom? You are the mother and you need to hold up your end of the chores, too.
punch them surrounded by the face, 6 times
Well im 14, so i can tell you the genuine thing.
When i don't do my chores or i do them wrong or in a hurry...
i get punished.
-no computer
-stay surrounded by my room
-cant go anywhere
-silent treatment
-no cell phone
-cant go to my soccer game
