[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m kind of secretly enjoying complaints of families with 3+ kids during quarantine.

You are stuck with 5 kids at home for a couple of months and it’s unbearable? Well, you’re dealing with consequences of your choices.

Usually, when you offload them to school, church or some poor grandparents you kind of escape the consequences of your decision. But now you can’t. Ahahaha (diabolic laughter)[/quote]

We have 3 kids and things are going great. The house is clean and tidy and the kids play well with each other. I can imagine it would be hard if the parents are disorganized or the family doesn’t get along.[/quote]

Your house is not clean and tidy with 5 people at home all day lmao just stop [/quote]

What?!  Not PP but we have three kids and two big dogs and yes, my house is clean and tidy.  It takes a lot of work (the kids help) but yes, it's clean and organized.[/quote]

Hooray for you. My kids have art supplies and school devices and books and papers out, my husband and I have our work stuff out, shoes by the doors as the kids run in and out, dishes because we eat 3 meals a day here now. It gets picked up at the end of the day but to claim it’s neat and tidy while we are all running around doing stuff, pfffffft [/quote]

Some of us pick up after ourselves and teach our kids to do the same. I can see how if you wait until the end of the day to pick up everyone’s dishes, papers, etc it would get messy. You do you, but stop pretending it’s impossible for children and adults to clean up after themselves - it’s not. [/quote]

DP but my work papers are out because I'm working.  Toys are out because kids are playing.  Books are out because school has to happen.  How is it even possible to be "tidy" while 8 different necessary things have to be happening simultaneously?  You can't pick up *after yourself* until ... after.[/quote]
