So, picture this: I spent my Saturday scrubbing every bathroom in the house, and less than a day later, I walk into the kids’ bathroom to find toothpaste smeared on the mirror, in the sink, and somehow—wait for it—on the window. Seriously, how does that even happen? And as if that wasn’t enough, there were retainers just chilling on the sink alongside some used Q-tips. Oh, and surprise! The trash can I just emptied? Overflowing already. And that’s just one room!
When I ventured downstairs, I tripped over a minefield of glasses, shoes, laptops, and backpacks. Just minutes prior, the floor was clear! My kids often wonder why I sound like a broken record, reminding them to clean up every single day. Sure, they need to learn some responsibility to become independent adults, but it’s also about being part of our home community.
Here’s my little pep talk for them on why it’s so important to take care of our space:
- We Pay for This Place: Paying the mortgage isn’t fun when it feels like we’re living in a trash heap. Take some pride in your belongings, your room, and for goodness’ sake, if something’s not in the trash can, take two seconds to toss it in!
- Safety First: I can’t tell you how close I’ve come to taking a tumble while bringing in groceries because of random sneakers in my path. I’ve almost slipped on spilled yogurt and had a near back disaster cleaning up slime from the ceiling. It’s a hazard!
- There’s More of You: There are more kids than there are adults around here. If everyone pitches in and cleans up, life becomes a lot simpler. It’s tough enough for me to keep track of my own stuff—you know, because I’m human too!
- You Won’t Lose Anything: Trust me, nothing bad will happen if you hang up that towel, pick up your clothes, or load your dishes into the dishwasher. But if you leave it for me, be prepared for consequences. Like, I might just change the WiFi password for fun!
