I started cleaning his room moved to his closet found half a dozen dishes/glasses/silverware he had stashed and new clothes old clothes ect.. Trash - old toys new toys. I called my daughter's

I don't get putting dirty dishes under the bed and in the closet. Now don't get me wrong, I'm plenty lazy and not much into housecleaning, but hiding dirty dishes? Ewww!

Nine year old boys are immune to ewww!

At times I feel like a prison warden - brush your teeth/make your bed/lights out/ Get up/ do your home work/ I am a series of directives.

Add "Turn in your homework... Why did you do the work, if you didn't mean to turn it in and get credit for it."?

Sighs at 7 year olds

Totally!

My nine almost ten year old - is a challenge - then again he is getting better slowly. It's weird the big sister who is twenty-one is OCD about doing her homework and her other responsibilities.

Congratulations - you've inspired me

i think i too will take your initiative and make it my own. There's so much clutter in our lives, and right now, my focus is on making rather pathetic attempts at sewing, and rather happy attempts at singing. And we will be harp learning partners!

much love to you,
Your protege and friend and
sister from another mister.
