Do you clean your child's room or do they. My daughter picks up after herself but usually I end up vacuuming, mind you if I ask her she will do it. I should let her do it all at this point but it just doesn't get picked up the way I would do it. Although its her space so I don't mind letting her live the way she wants. It's not dirty or messy just in knacks left out on surfaces.

My son is only two years old and of course me and my husband do the cleaning. Sometimes we just shove the toys at the side to be honest because he will scatter them again the next day. My husband do the vacuuming and I might say it is a bit tiring since he does it daily sometimes even twice. The season in our place is typically warm and if ever you left crumbs of bread even a tiny bit, expect ants to find it. We have this insect chalk and we put lines in where ants normally appear but they always find other ways, really irritating for sure but we have to deal with it all the time. We would rather do things over and over than my son being bitten, but lasting solution would be much better.

I have 4 boys and I really have a hard time telling them to tidy up the room. Although my second son could be helpful at times, still I would like them to clean it the way it should be. But since they do not, well, I do the cleaning and make sure that it is free of dust. My two older sons have allergy and so I have to be sure that they wouldn't be sneezing all the time.

When my kids were about 12 years old, they were completely responsible for their rooms. Vacuuming and dusting, included. But I did do a spring cleaning once a year - with their help, of course. If they were not willing to help with the spring cleaning, then it was completely my decision what was to be thrown out and how things would get rearranged in their bedrooms. They often made the wise decision to help me with spring cleaning - although sometimes it would have been easier if I didn't get their teenage help. But, it was their bedroom and their responsibility.

I have a son and daughter they are at the age where they have their own style when it comes to thier room. I tend to let them keep what they want in the rooms as long as its kept clean. They are made to pick up things,vacuum,dust,ect.I think it learns them odrer and responsiablity.
