My little brothers aren't listening to me!?

Question

I got told by my mother that my brothers need to clean the basement. It's been 4 hours and nothing has been cleaned! I have tried threatening (calling parents or spanking - I would never do anyway but they don't know that), raising my voice (my throat hurt so much that I have had 4 cups of tea) and sending one of them to his room and making the other one clean..

PLEASE HELP!!

My parents are going to be home in an hour and I refuse to clean it up for them!

Again PLEASE help!!

Answer 3

How can this possibly be your problem?  You've done what you can.  Your parents must establish that you have a leadership role in the house when they're not there.  Otherwise you might as well be talking to yourself.  If your brothers don't do their chores it will be up to your parents to handle the situation.  

Answer 4

Time out works... Let them know you're in charge, and when you ask something of them, You expect it to be done.

Ask them once more and if they don't, Off to their rooms for like 5 min

Then, they might change their minds.
