I like that idea, or even a bin where you throw everything into and then make them do a chore to get each item back. (I like this even better than throwing it out.)I force the issue with a black trash bagI throw everything in it and throw it out..... (well into storage for at LEAST a month!) I have been called a mean mom over and over!!![]()
The problem is that 80% of the mess is from my 3 year old, and she just doesn't get that yet. I don't know who left what, so I am just kinda stuck until she is old enough to get it.
