My 18 year still has to be told to clean his room, scrape the scraps off his plate and put it in the kitchen, pick up his dirties off the bathroom floor, well, everything really. But on Saturday mornings he helps me get the house in order so I can do something fun on the week end without spending too much time on housework, that ALMOST makes up for all the little things..... It's a little give and take on both sides.
