Cleaning up your child's mess

How funny- Well my daughter is 10 now- and she basically cleans up her own mess- of course it takes me prodding a lot of times- I’m your mom- not your housekeeper! Lol She does help clean up my messes too- so I shouldn’t complain- She knows the rules- Her room has to be cleaned once a week- (which is not hard she only sleeps in it) and her playroom has to have a clear path from the living room to the bathroom- or toys get tossed- lol.. It’s gotten to that once- but believe me she cleaned very quickly – before she lost any! : )

OMG! LOVE IT!! I am going to use the threat of photos on here to get my kids to pick up and help me clean in stead of making messes for me to clean up!! Reckon it will work? LOL I have the page open again today and last night I have bookmark it too, thank you muchly!!

HAHHAHA That's great! I was laughing my butt off. I really needed that laugh too, it really puts things into perspective..hehe. I'll just keep thinking "it could be worse". My kids are pretty tidy, but not really up to my standards..lol. I like things REALLY clean. Especially their bedrooms, not sure why. I loved the forks outside picture. Maybe that's where ours are? Before he left hubby was doing dishes and noticed we only had like 6 forks and 5 spoons left!! hahahaha!! I told him by the time he gets home, we will be using plastic utensils and paper plates for everything :)

Thanks for giving me an idea where to look for our forks at. It seems like each time we reach for a fork we have to launch a hunting expedition to find one. Our children can be messy at times. We make them clean their mess up themselves most of the time. However, there are those few occasions that the children decide that they don't want to. My fiancee offers to do it for them her way. If their toys are left on the floor and she has to pick them up they are now hers. If they throw their clothing on the floor instead of putting them away or in the hamper then its their week to do laundry by themselves. She tries to find unique and different ways to punish the children.

I had fun while viewing those pictures of yours...hahahaha..and I laugh and laugh hahahha..I can't imagine how messy your kids are..I was thankful that my kid who is 4 yrs old now is not like that. I always tell her to clean up her mess. But sometimes I do it. ;)
