[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Having parented four kids (oldest is college sophomore, youngest is rising high school freshman), this is the kind of thing that really.does.not.matter.[/quote] I think it does. It teaches them to respect their things and our house, that we don't live in a pig sty, and at some point, to pickup after themselves. I have a 10 and 7 yr old. We have a housecleaner that comes 2x/month. The night before they come, I have my kids tidy up their rooms so the cleaners can do a more thorough job. If there are lots of things left on the floor at night, they need to clean it up so that we can walk in without stepping on something. They've been making their beds since they were 5. No, it's not very nicely done, but it gets them in the habit. Dirty laundry always in their respective laundry basket. These things the kids will do without me asking. It's now just habit. The cleaning up the room I still have to tell them when to do it. [/quote]
