Since my post about bathroom issues… I have closed off my bathroom to the boys.
I have a hard time sticking to things… but I have remained firm. If my older ones try to sneak in for a shower… I have decided to charged $10 the first time, $20 the second time… etc.
I am so pleased. This morning as I peaked into their bathroom, I KNEW it was coming.
“Mommy, can I PLEASE shower in your bathroom? Ours is so messy!”
“Mommy, can I Please brush my teeth in your bathroom, I’ll clean it up after I am done…”
NOPE!
So I divided up the bathroom…
Max… pick up the clothes and toys.
Jordan … wipe off the toilet and sink.
Tyler… hallway stuff.
Soon it was done. Cleaner than it was half an hour ago and usable.
I feel good. It is a lot of work nagging and then follow up nagging… but at least it is getting done… and not by me. Yah!
