No matter how hard i try,no matter what i do

Maybe give them one specific thing to do at a time to make clean up a lot less intimidating or overwhelming to them.

I do always praise the children for a;ll the good things that they do as vwell as try to help them do things rather than making them do say their rooms on their own as i do find sometimes that works as well.I have a bonus scheme here where as they get things for doing their chores and if they do not do their chores then they do not get anything they want.

Hi there! Don't be upset, children do come to that stage. They are naughty and playful. I am sure they will absorb all the things you are telling them soon... Just give them time and don't get tired of repeating the things you what them to do and learn. Have a nice day always. Have more patience.

I have a problem with trying to keep up with everything as well as the garden and then because i am here all day as i can not go to work then i am trying to make a bit of money on here as well as this is the only thing that i can do.

I have tried that,but then i get to the stage where as when the children do not sleep as well as being stressed out with other things that are going on,it gets to the stage that i can not sleep and then i am too tired to keep up trying with the house.I have now got into abit more of a routine,but still having a problem with getting to sleep.

I have been told from lots of people that i should just go in their bedrooms when i have to and then just walk out and shut the door as that way i do not go back in there or have to see it to put it right.They said if they want to play amongst it to let them if that is the way they want it.The more i put their room right the more they will not do it themselves.

Hiya jugsjugs, Know what you mean but if you are the only one that cleans the Rooms then it is much more work for you in the long run. I have tried all the tricks in the trade and it got to a point well it got so untidy that he even had the cheek to complain you never clean this Room. This went on for ages of course I always made and changed the Bed and cleaned the Floor but left all the other things in piles around it. It´s taken me ages to get him to be cleaner and tidier it´s just his way but you can teach them and all the going on in the World will not change them. I have to go into that Room every Day and tidy up as much as I can and clean as much as I can as the only one who will clean it is me. I do have a few tricks like refuse to reiron Clothes that he leaves all wrinkled and screwed up and wash things that he has left lying around. Also refuse to do Meals when they feel like it otherwise you will never get out of that Kitchen. Take a more nonchalant attitude and over time they will learn to see for themselves that your values are the only ones that are worth it. It is really hard but I have had to learn the hard way but not anymore. They have learned to appreciate things more and the Battles have ceased not altogether but it´s getting there.

I am on about children aged from 13 years old right down to 6 years old.At 9 years old i was asked as well as i done my bedroom as in make my bed,put dirty linen in the basket,tidy my room up and that is what i had todo before i did anything else.

I have taken their things away from them as well as not let them outside to play with their friends as i found sometimes this would work,other times it did not work by not letting them have something they want.I used to take the fuse out of their tv as then they can not watch it or play games by using it as well as i did not even have to take it out of their rooms.
