Karen in CO Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 When we clean the bathrooms, I clean the tub, my 8yo cleans the toilet, and the 4yo cleans the sink. We normally do this Mondays, but this week the house cleaning is going to have to wait until Thursday. This afternoon, my dd8 called to me from upstairs, "Is it okay if I clean the toilets? I know they haven't been cleaned yet, and I just can't stand it anymore. I don't like knowing they are dirty." :lol: After she was done, I just had to laugh and shake my head. Poor child is now ruined - she can't tolerate a dirty toilet. Now if only I could get one of my kids to feel that way about the vacuum ....

Dawn in OH Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Can I have that child? Mine go into the bathroom, look at the toilet, and say "It's not dirty yet, we don't have to clean it today." Meanwhile, it is dirty, but they have chosen not to see it. My youngest is good. He's 20 months. He cleans everything. But he will wipe the kitchen floor with the dishcloth if someone leaves it where he can reach it. He's also the only member of the family (other than myself) that knows clothes go in the hamper, not the floor. Sadly he keeps taking my clean panties out of my drawer and throwing them in the hamper. Then I when I need them, there aren't any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber in AUS Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 That is priceless!! My DS is similar and actually wont use a toilet that isn't clean, can lead to some :blush: moments when we visit people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You are invited to come by and ruin my children, too...as soon as possible. :D I'm in line, too! You should put out a pamphlet on your method of child ruination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegGuheert Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'd be happy if they would simply FLUSH the toilet in order to "clean" it. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'd really appreciate this kind of training for my dc. Given the choice, I'll do the vacuuming, if someone would do the toilets without asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsrevmeg Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have three sons. The oldest of which will not use a public bathroom or the bathroom at my mother's house because they are dirty. Sure, it can create awkward moments at Gran's house, but I'd MUCH rather have a clean kid than a filthy pig of a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'll make you a deal. I send you my kids to ruin about toilets, and you send me yours to ruin about vacuuming, k? I have three kids that LOVE to vacuum. The Littles fight over it, with Diva pulling the "I'm the oldest, so THERE!" card to trump over them.

Karen in CO Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Mine used to like to vacuum until they figured out it was work. I'll send them right over. They both beg to mop the kitchen so it might be a good 2-for-3 training deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Suhweet. Diva likes mopping. Tazzie LOVES to wipe cupboards and walls! He says its like playing a video game, and he's getting the bad guys! He makes all these weird noises, and "I got you! Ha ha bad guy! Gotcha!" and before I know it, all the cupboards are clean, and he's moved onto the walls :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
