[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, we all have these days. It sounds like cleaning is your biggest stress, you keep mentioning that. I would sit down and outline the issues and have a meeting with your kids where they offer solutions. No bad ideas and everyone works together to come up with a plan of what they will do to help. I also find it's helpful to employ natural consequences and have a timeline that we need to be out of the house. For example, we are going to the pool at 3. All of these chores need to be finished before we can leave. If you're not helping, we will miss out on the fun activity. So if you are too upset to clean, you will also miss the pool. This will cut out the manipulation. Also play dates are a good idea. It sounds like they're probably tired of being around each other. Good luck! This shall pass.[/quote]
