[quote=Anonymous]I have messy kids, a spouse and 2 dogs. I am constantly picking up and cleaning after them. They mess up and don't clean right away, end up overwhelmed so they don't even know where to start. I help but end up doing the majority of the work, the cycle keeps going. I also provide about 90% of the pet care. Our problem is compounded by the fact that we live in tiny home.I feel like I missed the age/time when I should have involved the kids (and honestly spouse) more in the house upkeepand pet care.  My question is two fold: 1. how can I get my family more involved in the in upkeep of the house this late in the game (married 13 years, preteen kids). Both spouse and I work full time. 2. We are moving to bigger house, I am looking for recommendation on how to get more organized. The following are things I struggle with:

Clutter on kitchen counter (dishes, utensils, spices, mail, condiments, cereal)
Dinning table also always clutter
shoes on the entrance
kids clothes, back packs, books, games in the living room, dining
spouses wine bottles/glasses, opened or unopened packages, tennis racket and skates in the loving room.
Dog toys are all over the place

I have tried find homes for all of these things nut the always end cluttered. 
P.s. Both kids have ADD and possibly spouse too.
