[quote=Anonymous]I commiserate. My kids are older now, so I can tell you that it gets better. They have fewer toys and can help more. My older two are middle/elementary and can help a bunch with cleaning each day (they can clean their own bathrooms, vacuum, wipe the countertops, etc) and that is helping so much. At your kids' ages, we spent as much time as we could outside, and sorry, but I still don't do messy art projects at home. Glitter is banned in my house, but not washable paints -and I refuse to make the salt dough the school art teacher is recommending for specials right now for my youngest. I will do what small things I can for my sanity, and I don't feel guilt about it. It's ok to say no to some things, but the yelling and rage needs to be controlled. During the quarantine, and because we also have two big dogs, I have spent way too much time cleaning but it's the only way I can keep sane. This will pass.[/quote]
