You know your house was bad...

NayneeNoo · 02-14-2009, 11:38 AM

when, after completing an entire week of a housecleaning routine, your four year old runs from room to room then exclaims:

"Wow, Mommy! The house looks WONDERFUL! It's so CLEAN! Thank you, Mommy, for cleaning the house so I can run and play and not trip over anyt'ing."

Not saying mine just did anything, but, hypothetically, y'know, if your four year old did this, chances are your house was in pretty bad shape.

N gets so giddy when I pick up the floor cause she can run freely.

That's how I get my older two to help clean up - "No, you can't get that toy out - there's no where to play!!! Let's pick up toys first & the you can keep playing"

I remember when my children were at their grandmothers for a weekend and DH and I declutterd a bit and cleaned while they were gone.
When they got back, they ran through the house, jumping up and down, saying it was just like "Extreme Home Makeover".

Never had that experience, nope, not me.

Dd told me that the bathroom was "too stinky" and when I cleaned it she said "THANK YOU FOR CLEANING THE BATHROOM, MOMMY!" for a week afterwords, every single time she used it.

Or for us it was, "Mummy are we moving soon? You only clean like this when we are going to move!"
