The company had freeze on salaries last year so my boss said I was getting a bonus instead. A month or so after it was mentioned my boss asked if I had received it and I said, no, and then the boss was going to talk to the higher ups to push it through. Well I never received the bonus and I'm wondering if it's too late to bring it up now. It's been two years since I've had a raise, but I'm happy to have a job and don't want to seem ungrateful for being employed. I'm an excellent employee and go above and beyond in my performance. Thanks in advance.

He glazes over when he's being scalded. When he's given rules he say's OK, but he'll only follow them for a day or two then he's back to leaving his clothes everywhere. He is finding all sorts of ways to be lazy and not follow the rules. Even after being grounded several times he still disobeying our rules which aren't very strict:

Put dirty clothes in hamper.

Hang up wet towel in bathroom.

Wipe, flush toilet and close the lid, wash hands.

He has one chore (to pick up dog poop) and he finds ways to "forget" to do it. Which seems to be the main reason for not doing a lot of things...forgetfulness. How can we make doing these chores rewarding for him and not be a constant thorn in his side?

He's 10 years old.

I can't choose, they are both so pretty! This is such a dumb question...I know.

Shaken, stirred, on the rocks...what's tops your list?

Cuz I would.

I dunno about you but when I see that, the answer loses some credibility. It's annoying.
