[quote=Anonymous]This is also an ongoing thing in our house. Almost 15 years of DH and I being together and he still claims he's "cleaned up" after dinner and there will be a carton of milk open on the table, dishes in the sink, and leftovers put in a Tupperware container but sitting on the counter without a lid.

One kid will take off his shoes and coat and put them in the mudroom, the other one can't find his coat, socks or his shoes daily and it makes us late just about every time.

No amount of talking, screaming, politely asking, etc have solved it for me so I rage inside daily. If/when you have a solution please share!

What HAS worked for us when it comes to clutter is that we got rid of a TON of stuff. We moved last year and I sold and/or gave pretty much everything away. I'm really trying to be mindful of the toys my kids have and also get as gifts. I joined a Buy Nothing group on Facebook and give a lot of stuff away. If there's not a lot of junk in the house it can't get cluttered! [/quote]
