ailbheLinnea thinks I am unkind. She's right. Urgh. She says she will be a MUCH nicer mother than I am when she's grown up. I say (meanly) I hope so.
It's going to be ok, of course, because it always is. But I'm pretty frustrated with my inability to keep my temper under control when stepping on expletive deleted plastic toys I asked them to pick up days ago.
They have SO MUCH STUFF. The temptation to bin it all is sometimes very strong. I think we need to really, really get working on proper toy storage, in a planned, dedicated, spending actual money and time on it fashion. That, or get them to enjoy giving things away. I can't see that happening.

Date: 2010-12-11 01:27 pm (UTC)My rule: If I stand on it and it breaks it goes in the bin. If I stand on it and it hurts me it goes in the bin. If I have to ask three days in a row for it to be picked up and put away, it goes in the bin.
I have also removed toys for a week for refusal to put away. The Lego has been out of service on occasions for that reason.
