I'd say toilets, and tubs, with a tiny scrubby. Also dishes by hand, no gloves!

Gloves? What?

Not sure if it's been suggested, I started skimming halfway through, but LAUNDRY. Make him do everyone in the house's laundry - wash, dry, fold, put away. To me, that's the worst tedium, and definitely the most time consuming.

If you want to be really evil, just make sure you go over every chore you ask him to do and find something wrong. Make him re-do it, even if it's just one slat of the miniblind that got overlooked. Another thing you can do is re-sweep after he has, and take as much time to do it so you can gather every spec of dust he missed. Put it in a pile somewhere where he can see it, with a note of how much of a failure he is. Also, time limits to get tasks done add an extra dose of anxiety and pressure.

I have plenty more. My step-mother was the queen of chores and punishment for imperfection.

I did that to him yesterday. Smiley: lol I've got him outside doing all the weeding right now. By hand. He asked if he could use the weed whacker and I said no. Then he said he couldn't get pull up by the roots and I told him that if he wants the strength to play football for high school in the fall, he's going to have to get the muscles and this will help him.

Also make sure the note says "This is why we don't love you".

Who pulls weeds with a weed whacker? Those things are used for edging.

Wouldn't that destroy your lawn?

I guess it depends on how you use it from the perspective of a 14 year old.

You should buy some rabbits from a pet store and dig them a shallow 'warren' in the garden - knock em out or something so they don't escape. Then, when they're safely stowed, get him to mow the lawn. When he finds their mangled, bloody remains amidst the blades of the mower he'll be sure to learn a valuable lesson; as he sobs onto your lowered shoulder, trembling with the shock and horror of it all, you can grin that predatory grin of yours and take pride in a job well done.

Give him a spade and make him divert the local creek. You guys have those there right?

And lastly, one thing that boys hate, folding girls under clothes.Smiley: sly
I'm guessing some boys would find this quite tantalizing.
Not if it's your mom's.

Be sure to put a sticky note on each one that describes the last thing Ray did when you wore them.

Seconded, but seriously. I hated when my dad and step mom would do that. And not in a "why are they making me work so hard" way, but a "why are they being a-holes and playing mind games with me" way. I would never ever ever do this to a child. Make him work. Make him work hard. But treat his work and efforts honestly.

If you have a large supply of bricks, other stones of that nature, or chopped wood make him move and stack it somewhere and then decide that you liked it where it was before better. Or if you have none of those things, get an axe and make him chop wood.

That's one of the things my dad used to do to me if I got into trouble and I wasn't very fond of it.

Man, I love chopping wood. Loved it as a kid too. It's good exercise and fun to play with axes.

Yea, I agree with this Thumb. You should definitely give him an axe and tell him to go chop some wood.

Most Catholics love the Jesus juice, but this Catholic can't handle alcohol. 2 sips of a wine cooler and I'm sleeping in 30 minutes.

We have and we do. But his attitude caused him to do all his chores half-*** which is why I made him do things over. Doing laundry means throwing them n the washer, then the dryer then fold them when they're fully dry. If the towels are half-wet when you fold them and put them in the linen closet, yes, you are going to wash all the linens in the closet. And don't try to explain that the dryer buzzer meant the clothes were done.
