[quote=Anonymous]Bump up the housekeeping.  If he's not willing to pick up after himself, he doesn't get to complain about how the house gets cleaned.

Make the kids make their own lunches.  If they don't, they don't have lunch the next day.  And no TV or computer gets turned on until they have hung up their coats, put away their shoes, and made their lunch.  Also, they are in it together--no screens until both have done this.  Put them in the same boat.  Also, they should be helping out.  Depending on their age, they can help set the table, empty the dishwasher, fold laundry, etc.

Ask your husband to throw in a load of laundry before he leaves the house in the morning.  If he doesn't do this, stop doing his laundry.

Tell your kids that they need to pick up stuff before they go to bed.  Right before you go to bed, pick everything up and stuff it in a big box.  Stick the box in a closet.  If they don't like how you clean up their stuff, then they can pick it up themselves.  [/quote]
