Lifes Like That

I have come to the realization that to get the kids to clean their rooms I have to have mine cleaned as well. The other day I asked my two younger kids to clean their rooms and my daughter asked why she had to clean her room if I didn’t have to clean mine. Smart thinking I would say wouldn’t you? The thing is my room is quite small and with a queen sized bed and two dressers there isn’t a whole lot of room to move around in so it always looks cluttered. So now I have to find different hinding places for all my stuff so my room looks clean to the kids and then I will be able to say to them that they need to clean their rooms because mine is clean.

For all you parents out there have you ever gotten this response from your children?
