[quote=Anonymous]Can you arrange for both kids to go to their friends’ house one of these weekends and use the time they are away to make a big dent in getting the house back under control? I don’t know that a messy house will damage them, but it does set the gauge for what is “normal” for them as they get older. I’ve always made my bed because it was impressed upon me at a young age that you just can’t leave the house with an unmade bed (or without tidying before you walk out the door). My parents were neatnicks. Also, I do think the kids could grow resentful that you are conditioning their ability to have friends over on something that is out of their control. I’m sorry you are struggling, and hope things improve for you soon. [/quote]
