At least when they are playing there seems to be a point to the mess. He just empties a few boxes and goes to sleepAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117249594444297964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256773225141600058.post-77643696660625848342013-06-13T11:10:00.136+01:002013-06-13T11:10:00.136+01:00We used to always tidy the toys away neatly into L...We used to always tidy the toys away neatly into Leelah's corner once she was in bed but now we are making an effort to do it with her before she goes to bed so that she understands that she will start tidying up one day rather than Mummy and Daddy always clearing up her trail of destruction. Not sure how well this is sinking in but she has started to put some things away and clearly enjoys the delight I take in it. <br /><br />I hate cleaning and tidying, there are always better things to do but it is so much easier to relax in the evening when you aren't breaking your ankle on cars or sitting on the sofa and getting a jumbo crayon up your arse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119409333701549816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256773225141600058.post-76485100148201157672013-06-07T18:15:38.155+01:002013-06-07T18:15:38.155+01:00Yep, often open a bottle of wine, but I also agree...Yep, often open a bottle of wine, but I also agree with v83tigger... if I sit down, nothing will then get done!Man and Buggy Bloghttp://www.manandbuggy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256773225141600058.post-45657835542419974762013-06-06T13:22:30.798+01:002013-06-06T13:22:30.798+01:00Yep, we're the same kids in bed then we tidy a...Yep, we're the same kids in bed then we tidy and also sweep the floors ready to be mopped. TBH me and wifey both like a tidy house anyway but I think it also helps them choose different toys each day etc.<br />Also Matilda does now help tidy before she goes to bed :)The Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029808919149234315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256773225141600058.post-92224224022958430412013-06-06T13:16:20.603+01:002013-06-06T13:16:20.603+01:00I do the tidy, occasionally, through gritted teeth...I do the tidy, occasionally, through gritted teeth, sighing and with a general air of grump. 8 years in it has ground me down to the 'why the * do I bother?' stage as lego, sparkly things, polly pocket shoes and general 'stuff' take over. The Cheetah Keeper's father likes a tidy house too - the 'tidy' is permanent flashpoint... and once the (not so) small ones are in bed it's cook us dinner, sit down and grab the laptop!Jenny from Cheetahs In My Shoes & Just Photos By Mehttp://cheetahsinmyshoes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256773225141600058.post-56571255769417453512013-06-06T13:13:14.855+01:002013-06-06T13:13:14.855+01:00Tidying is something we do together.
