BlueTaelon Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Paper! I wish I had a way to lock up every sheet of paper and pair of scissors in the house, dd7 leaves huge messes and I end up being the one to clean it up because no punishment I have thought of yet can get her to do it herself. I can't wait until I can afford to buy another locking cabinet, my house will be so much cleaner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 My boys get tape on the floor too. It's a pain to get off sometimes (hard flooring). The other thing here is I have an incredibly messy eater. He drops stuff on his clothes, then walks around the house shedding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 jumpers (sweaters). I am so sick of them, mostly it is DH , he has dirty boots, it is too much bother to take them off, so he opens the door and neatly puts his jumper on the floor right by the door. Unfortunately the kids now do the same thing, except they throw them in random places all over the floor. I am so sick of picking them up. I have now taken to picking them up and flinging them into the offending person's bedroom. I am very tempted to just dump all the clean laundry all over the kitchen floor and go away for a few days........ when I do it you all will be able to hear my hysterical laughter... I will be the lady who went crazy over jumpers on the kitchen floor................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I really resent finding crumbs on the floor. We have a dog! For nearly 9 years, we had TWO! There should never be a reason for crumbs on the floor, right?!? Sadly, the dogs find anything smaller than a quarter sandwich unworthy of their time.

Pawz4me Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Cat gifties (aka clumps of shed fur). Shredded Dixie cups. I have to take the blame there -- Dixie cups are my Shih Tzu's current favorite toy. And he doesn't get them out of the dispenser by himself. ;) (Hmmm . . . these pet-related complaints must mean I've got DH and the boys well trained. :laugh: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Wrappers. Or, specifically, parts of wrappers. DD will rip the corner off a packet of something to open it, throw away the packet once she's done, but leave the corner. Grrr.... It's probably a good thing she's very concerned about Rainforest habitat destruction-that's led to buying a lot fewer pre-wrapped snack items.

zoobie Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Dog, cat, and the stupid rug fluff tumbleweeds Honestly, pretty much everything. The rest of the house has I-can't-see-it-once-it-hits-the-floor-blindness. "Please pick up the green colored pencil by your left foot. No, your other left foot. It's 3 inches away! How can you not see the *green* colored pencil on the brown floor?!?!" Or if I ask one to pick up everything that's not supposed to be on the floor around the couch so I can vacuum, the child will pick up two things. What about the book? The dog toy? The block? Oh, they're not YOURS? Well, this dog fur isn't mine either, but I still have to vacuum it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you not see the *green* colored pencil on the brown floor?!?!" My DD does that-she'll drop her pencil during math, go to her drawer and pull out another one, repeat. By the end of the problem set it's "Mommy, I need more pencils!". No you don't. Do you think those yellow things just grow in the carpet? Honestly. Yet I can promise you that she'll have no trouble seeing an Easter egg from across the backyard, even when it's green and hidden in tall grass (DH used Easter as an excuse not to mow this weekend ;) ).

Ameena Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 This is totally gross but Maggots. I keep a fairly clean house, do the dishes daily and make an effort to carry the trash often {like every other day, sometimes daily when it's hot}. I scoop the litter box daily, I make sure no food is left out unsealed. Yet without fail I wake up to maggots in my dining room or kitchen floors a couple of times a month from spring to fall. I don't understand where they are coming from. I'm blaming the lack of a/c & my dd leaving the doors open a lot. Either that or my house seems to be the local fly breeding grounds!
