[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding floors, I will note here that when our floors go unswept or vacuumed for a few days, [b]our kids will complain.[/b] They run around the house barefoot and do not enjoy stepping on crumbs, dirt, and tracked cat litter. Nor do I.

The PP (with a cat!) who claims they sweep twice a month and it's fine must have the tidiest family in the world. We don't wear shoes in the house and restrict eating to the kitchen and dining room and we still wind up with stuff on the floors after a few days. I think once a week is bare minimum and that's not to maintain perfect cleanliness or anything, just to ensure we don't attract bugs or ruin the floors.[/quote]

The day one of my kids complains about the floors being swept is that day is the day they get a new chore. I wonder if you'd feel less harried if you were in charge of your kids and not the other way around?[/quote]

I'm happy to have my 5 yr old sweep the floor but also that is not a good way to get floors clean. And they are too small for the vacuum.[/quote]
