[quote=Anonymous]1. Keep the mess in certain locations so it doesn't spread. If the spread of toys across the house is your biggest problem but you need the kids to be rotating around the house, find some big boxes to store items in the other rooms. 2. If the kids are bored, you should create more structure so they don't resort to rifling through the boxes and moving on. Can you get them outside more? They make less mess outside. 3. Get back to the cleanup routine. At preschools they sing a song to make it fun. 3. Do a bigger tidy up with your DH once per day. 4. Don't keep calling yourself a perfectionist. Just figure out how to make it work so this is sustainable. [/quote]
