[quote=Anonymous]Probably get flamed, but when my 3 yr old learned how to climb out, I put a small step stool up against the crib. I figured if he learned to get out, I'll at least make it safer by putting a step stool for him to put his feet on instead of "falling"/wedging his feet in between the skates trying to get down.

So, do you have a routine each day which gets everyone out of the house for at least 3 hrs? Need free/lowe cost ideas for a broad age range, I'll give you specifics (3, 7, 9, 11 yr olds)? It makes a huge difference in the general mood and eliminates stir crazyboredom that seems to be fueling your problems.

You seem to be hyper focused on cleaning. Are you anxious? Looking for instant gratification in your life? Do you sacrifice playing with the kids to scrub the bathroom?
Are you sure it is more of a clutter issue and not cleaning? You probably like clean sight lines, but instead you see stacks of various library books next to the couch or a mountain of barbies in the corner?[/quote]
