When adult children skip chores they promised to do, pick one clear task with a specific deadline. Ask what's getting in the way, listen, then follow through with consequences like cutting Wi-Fi or charging for their phone bill if they don't do it.
So your adult child promised that they would help around the house, but 2 weeks later, you're doing everything yourself. What did you actually agree to? If they said, oh, I'll just help more, that can mean different things to different people. Try choosing just one responsibility together. What needs doing, when it needs doing it, and what will you do if it doesn't happen? You may cut off their Wi-Fi. You may make them pay for their cell phone bill. Say you agreed that they would do their laundry on Saturday. It stops getting done. You go back to that agreement. And you can say something like, hey, I know we agreed that you'd do your laundry, but I've Notice that it's still not getting done. What's getting in the way of that? Hear them out and then agree on what happens next. If the plan needs changing, just talk about it. Otherwise, you're back to doing the job for them and hoping that they notice.
