[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: board games tipped out with pieces/cards mixed on floor, shelves emptied of toys, baskets of cars turned over, etc. At nine, I think any mess you can't pick up in 10 minutes is excessive, and if your mom has to oversee you to clean it up, I'd rather you just leave. Ugh. [/quote]

Why?! As long as nothing is broken, what exactly is the problem? Who knows what they were playing. If the kid only trashed the place on purpose only to make a mess I would say you are right...but do you REALLY know that's what happened? Maybe a game got out of hand. Maybe they were playing with everything one after the other just without putting the things the played with back when they were done. Again, if nothing is broken, what exactly is the harm in them cleaning the place up together? Like you mentioned: they are old enough to do that.

If, on the other hand, you came down when it was time to leave it is your fault for not giving two kids enough pre-warning time to have enough time to clean up their mess so by the time the kid needed to actually leave everything would have been done...[/quote]
