[quote=Anonymous]I didn't grow up in a super neat place. The one thing my mom taught me that I later put into action was always make your bed. It automatically makes the room look cleaner. I have built on that one grain of advice to become a neat person -- much neater than I ever was growing up, in college, or as a single person. I still have a long way to go. Mopping, sweeping, vacuuming don't happen as often as they should, but everything is more or less picked up. I've also embraced a happy level of clutter, but early on we set a rule against toys staying downstairs. My kids are older now (late elementary, middle school), so toys are not an issue. Getting them to put away their clothes, hang up towels, wipe the sink and not leave a puddle in front of our shower are our current struggles. IN general I do it for them, but not without reminding them that it's their responsibility! LOL[/quote]
