[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 353189, member: 3444"] :rofl: You all have given me great comfort knowing that the drama here takes place in your households each and every day, too! When I have the energy, I do hover and insist things are done right/thoroughly. But when I am mentally exhausted, I ignore a lot, and thus the usual state of things around here. But I'm on a roll this weekend so I intend to make the most of it. For example, *GROSS WARNING* difficult child 1 coughed up a glob of phlegm this morning and missed the trash can when he spat it out. I don't know when he did it, but I know it was him because he's the only one coughing in this house right now. I interrupted his TV show and made him get up off the couch, walk to the kitchen and clean it up. I could have just as easily done it, but I think taking the extra time to make him go through the motions is something he'll remember (I hope, I hope). Same thing with difficult child 2 yesterday.
