Lifes Like That

I am highly confused here today.  I know this is a normal state for me.  But, this type of confusing is new to me.  The only thing that I require of my children when it comes to cleaning in the home, is to keep their rooms clean.  This is an every day fight.  They just don’t want to do this.  This is why I was extremely shocked yesterday when my youngest son was begging me to let him clean the house.  What I don’t understand is if he hates cleaning his room so much, then why is he begging me to do more cleaning.  Maybe it’s a different type of cleaning he wants to do?  Whatever.  I don’t think I’ll ever understand kids and I have had 18 years experience in this.  So I don’t think I’ll ever get it.
