[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  This group never fails to amaze me.

My house is cluttered, not dirty.  For example, on the coffee table we have a lego project that should have been put away when it was finished but it didn't get done and then my daughter put her library books on top of the legos.  There's also a water bottle on there and a single shin guard.  And it's not even soccer season.

Join me now in the kitchen were the floor and counters are clean because I wiped them and the robot vaccum did her stuff overnight.  As an aside, our kitchen is the gateway to the rest of the house.  Other than the living room, you have to go through the kitchen to get upstairs, downstairs, and to the rest of the main floor rooms.  So it gets a TON of foot traffic.  This AP literally never sweeps the floor (our previous 2 just did as part of the cleaning up after breakfast dishes because yeah, feeding 3 kids and a dog running around and making lunches...the floor gets dirty quick).  I sweep the floor at least once per day, usually after dinner.

The playroom is now another story.  My daughter appears to have started to do a puzzle on a puzzle board and also has taken out a set of markers and a coloring book and these are all over the floor.  The table in the playroom that is meant for art projects, etc. is covered with stuffed animals that should be in the stuffed animal sling.

So there you go, that's our messy house.  I will attempt to get her to clean while kids are at school but with her attitude...I'm not sure it's going to be a long term match.[/quote]
