[quote=Anonymous]Don't marry a clutterbug like I did. LOL. Teach your kids not to leave dirty dishes in the sink. Meal is done, they can help you put dishes or cups in the dishwasher. Use one cup all day long. It also helps to keep food only at the table, rather than allowing snacking in front of the tv or in the playroom or wherever. Minimizes the spread of food-related mess. We taught DC to do a "two minute drill" a few times per day. Rather than "clean your room" which would seem overwhelming we would set a timer for 2min or 5min and tell them to get done as much as they could. When kids were that young, we would help, but it got the habit going.[/quote]
