[quote=Anonymous]Love my husband, love my kids. Would love to see them every day. I so wish I didn't live with them. I've been telling my kids (teen and tween) to pick up their shoes every single day since they were about 2. Multiply that by 100 items. Husband is better than they are but still messy. I'm tired of telling them; I'm tired of doing it myself; I don't want to impose consequences; I just want their stuff all gone. I have to call it a win when they put their shoes next to the shoe basket or the empty food container on the counter that is over the trash bin.

I would never be like this, because it's so rude, but I completely get the "kitchen is closed" MILs and the "eat your nice fruit on the porch" poster. I keep telling myself that this is the small stuff, but dang it, I want a nice, clean house that isn't filled with all their stuff! I want to find the things I need because they are where I left them (i.e., where they belong - pens, scissors, tape...).

They are amazed that I know what snacks they had after I went to bed. I'm constantly saying no eating throughout the house but I still find discarded applesauce packets or an empty dorito bag. All of this crap belongs to that invisible guy who lives with us, whose name is "Not Me," because that's what they tell me when I ask who left the x out. I'm contemplating buying different colored dishes for everyone so there are no arguments about whose dishes are in the sink. Why do they put dishes in the sink when I have been telling them for years to please put them in the dishwasher that is right next to the sink? I fantasize about living alone every. single. day.[/quote]
