My kids' stuff is going to go the way of the big black trash bag. I get so tired of trying to keep MY stuff up and put away, then I have to take care of theirs too? Nope. They got the lecture again today about pick it up and keep it neat or lose it. I also told my husband I'm tired of always being to bad guy, the yeller, so he needed to start jumping in before it got to the point of me getting ready to lose it. Hey it's his house too. He can do this just like I can.
I think I have the 4 yr old straightened out for the moment--I expect to have to help her though. It's the teens and preteens I have the biggest trouble with. They would just as soon walk through fire as to take a step out of their way to pick up a piece of paper on the floor. If I say "hey who left this here?" I don;t get "Oops sorry, that was me." I get "It was so and so and I'm not cleaning up after that pig. Don;t even ask me too. They're slobs."
To put it bluntly--I DON'T CARE!!!!! It's your house,your space, too. Pick it up. If each of them would just pick up one or two things as they traipse through the house hollering they are bored, things would be so much neater.
Or the big black trash bag may have to take over, 'cause mama's tired.

You simply cannot use such words, girl. ...Black... Haven't you read the forum? It's big african american trash bags!!!!!
Actually more of these big BLACK trach bags are more green than black anymore.
By the way, since when are YOU politically correct? And I'm done with the forum--as I posted to missmanners last night, I simply cannot afford to buy backstops for all the ignoramuses out there, her included.
