No way but some days I feel like I need to!
All of them! Actually, my child goes and grabs the broom by herself when it's needed and tries to clean up! It's so cute! And then she puts it away if I ask her to.
Oh God, I try. I sneak around when I think he isn't looking... it's so sad. My poor kid is going to end up OCD or something. :)
not me (no kids), but same situation with 2 dogs and 3 cats!im not a parent but i know some of my friends parents out wit a broom 24/7 cleaning after their children I DONT NECESSARLY HAVE A BROOM, BUT I AM WALKING AROUNG CLEANING UP AFTER MY 20 MONTH OLD. MY 22 YEAR OLD HUSBAND AND MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!
oh yes but thats just part of the joys of parenting no-matter how much we wish we didnt have to tidy up lolif my 3yo daughter was put in a empty padded room she would still manage to make a mess.
but hey we look after them for 18 years they can sure look after us when we are old and fragile
I pretty much do with my 4 year old-- I have 4 children--I feel now that my broom is an extra limb--that's how much I use it!LOL.
constantly!! but get one of those cordless vacuums and let them help you clean the mess up. that's what I do and it teaches them to clean at an early age!!
I understand how you feel . I used to be such a clean and neat freak, until I had my baby and he hit toddlerhood. Don't worry about trying to keep everything clean. This coming from someone who used to keep a spotless home. Now I spend the time with my child that I would have spent cleaning. The house can be cleaned later. Just remind yourself how lucky you are that your little angel can make messes. there are some parents who have children who can't crawl, walk or do any of the things that drive us up the wall sometimes. so put down that broom and pick up your little rugrat, all too soon they will be grown up and you will long for the days of the constant messes.I have to admit that would be me! Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I am crazy and ask when do I have time. But I'll tell you the truth I don't, I actually have my 4 yr old and 2 yr old help. I have all tile in my house so I bought those litte vaccums one for each of us and I'll be buying another one soon my ten month just took her first steps! trust me it works, the house stays clean and the kids stay out of trouble!!!!
