This. Also - they are only kids for so long. Let them have their toys. Your house doesnt have to be perfect. [/quote]

This is fair. My daughter will be in preschool for 2 more years.

I’m going to try to put the majority of the toys in the basement and only allow a few toys upstairs. The toys won’t bother me as much if I don’t have to constantly see them.

And I will start giving away items. We don’t need 100 dinosaurs. I will keep 10-20. And those dinotrux and switch and go dinosaurs my friends’ kids like so much. They can just have them.[/quote]

This is a great idea, OP. If it were me, I'd just make the family room a no toy zone (storage-wise at least). If you have so many toys that they can't be out of sight and/or there's not a clear and easy place to put them away when the kids are done playing with them, I bet there are plenty that can be passed along. I live in a small apartment and was frustrated when it never seemed to be neat, and culling things was life changing. DD still has plenty of toys, she and her friends have fun when they play here, AND everything looks nice every day. When she's done playing, everything goes back to its designated spot in her room.[/quote]
