Middle Boy gets home from school two hours before I get home from work. 

His task is to do all of the homework he does not need my help with.  I also generally give him a task to do to help out around the house. 

Today his task was to tape up 10 boxes so we could fill them this evening.

When I got home there was no homework done and no boxes taped.  When I asked him what he had been doing he told me he was really busy.

DOING WHAT?

I never did get a straight answer.  I do know I did not get 10 boxes taped up.

This is making me crazy.

Prayers for how to motivate Middle Boy.
