[quote=Anonymous]OP being home all the time sucks and makes it hard for sure. We have a 4 YO and 18 MO in 2000 sq ft. 4 of us are home 24/7 because of COVID. Here’s what works for us. We ruthlessly purge, have a bin organizer and closet with organizer in the playroom. We never have more toys than could fit in the closet or in the bins. If we do, we purge something. We work with DS (4) to clean up his toys every night. They all get put away every night as an expectation. It really cuts down on things getting out of control and only takes 10-15 minutes working together. Like another PP said we have hooks for their coats, a box for hats/mittens/ masks, a place for shoes. Everything gets put away immediately upon entering the house. Only can eat at the table. Any snack wrappers DS throws away. Plastic cups/plates he puts in the sink. Our house isn’t perfect but it feels unchaotic and doesn’t feel like we’ve ceded complete control to the kids. [/quote]
