Blended family traumas update

Chippendale and I talked to Miss 17 about her lack of chores.  She said she didn't do any because she had to work all day.  We pointed out we both work 40-60 hours a week (even off sick I have been doing 20-30 hours a week) and we can't get out of chores so why should she?  We gave her the choice of no chores and she pays us half her wages.  Today she got up and did her chores first (they only took 3/4 hour) and even hung out the washing which we didn't ask her to do.  Today is a better day with us and Miss 17.  It is also a better day with Chippendale who is really trying to start parenting Miss 17 and is working with me, not against me.  It is also sunny!
