Set your expectations and then also set the consequences when those expectations are not met. You need not be arguing with college-aged kids to help you, they are far too old for that. I would put together a list of everything that needs to get done each week and sit down with them and split it three ways, each person taking a turn picking that chore, next person, etc. Then tell them it is non-negotiable if they intend to live in YOUR house. And FWIW, they don’t need to be invested in the household after they are no longer living in it but if they have a bed and food in the fridge, they better be invested in the moment.
