[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 282501, member: 7083"] I have been thinking about this post, and what I came up with is what CrazyinVa said. You really do have to pick your battles. The example that comes to mind quickly is difficult child's room. It goes from clean to a sty in about 30 seconds flat. But, it's her space (as long as she's not damaging walls, etc). I don't have to live in it and it lets her feel like she has something that is just hers. And since I've stopped caring about it, she wants to keep it clean more on her own. It still becomes a sty quickly, but she'll clean it on her own when she gets tired of living in it. [/QUOTE]
