[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my 4 yr old told me the housekeeper would pick up the mess, I realized that my DH a was not modeling the best behavior (because that was something he would definitely do) so I started with DH and how he needed to model good behavior that DCs should not be under the notion that he did not have to tidy things but that fell on the shoulders or myself or the housekeeper. The motto then became in our house...everyone picks up their own messes. [/quote] Ha, ha my DD4 said the same thing and I realized at that point things had to change for her to understand our housekeeper was not there for her, but the upkeep of the entire house. We put in a specific routine in place in the morning. There are 5 items she has to do then she can come downstairs for breakfast.[/quote]
