[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 353023, member: 6705"] Wow, do you guys all live with me and I don't know it?! This past week I had a minor meltdown... Actually it wasn't a meltdown, but I got the kids together and told them, "...And when it's clean it will STAY that way. One pair of socks, dirty dishes left out... You will be grounded. One day per incident." After a day each of being grounded my house is still pretty nice looking. I was able to do laundry, scan some pictures for a DVD I'm making for a friend, bake bread, get dinner ready (steaks & potatoes)... And goof quite a lot. I also did grocery shopping. It was wonderful! Of course, Jett will be upset when he does not have any clothes to wear to school on Monday. I also told the kids that I would not be reminding them to take laundry downstairs and sort it, so if they did not, it was their job to wash, dry, and fold... LOL he didn't. Three loads and mine and husband's was DONE! Took less than 2 hours. [/QUOTE]
