Ok..so now Mandy has me hooked on blogging...does this mean that I am easily led to do something or think that I have a lot to say and need to make sure someone knows...hmm...I think that will be another blog another time...
This blog however is about my kids and cleaning...and as the title states..why I bother! I have decided that since I am not interested in watching the Super Bowl, I am going to clean my kids rooms...now I like to think of myself as a fairly clean person until I step into their room...how is it if there is a no food past the kitchen rule in place, I find french fries under the bed? EWW..How does dog hair get into the toy box? How many balls are there to the Hungry Hungry Hippo game? Because I am certain I have found 1045. And as I write this they are in the bathroom washing out the hairy toy box and now the bathroom is flooded...which begs me to ask...if I hadnt been cleaning their room, would my bathroom now need Noah to survive? Why do I bother?
I have recently learned that I am not supposed to nag my children to clean their room. That children have very little control over their lives and if I wouldnt want them to clean my room, I shouldnt clean theirs or ask them to clean it. Have you fallen out of your seat yet? I assure you that this advice came from someone who actually went to school to advise parents on how to raise another human being. The point being they will eventually get so fed up with living in a dirty mess they will clean it themselves...HA HA HA...see, my children are male, which means they will grow to be men...please someone show me one man who cleans up after himself and I will allow my kids to live as they chose...Now I have fallen out of my seat!!
