So once a week the girls absolutely MUST pick up the play room and their bedroom and once a week there is a 50/50 chance they simply don't do it. After washing their clothes the day before and putting them away and changing their sheets, I was not in a very sympathetic mood when it came time to pick up the playroom. I simply told them to pick up their toys, and if they treated their toys like trash so would I. They picked up a few toys, but made no real effort to do their best at putting things away. So true to my word, I put their toys in the trash...
