[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 353117"] Oh goodness. It's the same in our household too. Big B is a terror to clean with. Although, it was interesting yesterday... ...put that "ignore the griping behavior" thing to the test. He wasn't cleaning his room so I walked in and started cleaning it. Boy did that set him off! He tried to shove me out of his room and started screaming but I kept cleaning. He ran down the stairs and screamed he was leaving if I didn't stop. I ignored it and he eventually stopped screaming after about 20 minutes. Kept cleaning though...I think a lot of that was my telling him about the points system and explaining it to him a bit and then telling him if he got the cleaning in his room done so we can move it around and freshen it up for him he would earn 100 points. He dallied all afternoon and I gave him 3 warnings then started cleaning. He freaked big time. It's still not finished but I figure he did get somewhere yesterday (half of it was done so I guess half of the points are in order or am I wrong). I could subsequently tell him the other half of his points can be gotten with finishing the other half of his room. Papa fixed the door his 4 yr old sister broke (his bedroom door) by hanging off the door knob. Geeze, that kid is only maybe 35 lbs soaking wet (very petite) and she destroyed the hinge on his bedroom door. Papa told him, fixing your door, you fix the inside of the room by cleaning it please. I'm sorry I hijacked your thread - I hate spring cleaning with difficult child kiddos. Makes it triple the work. [/QUOTE]
