My wife and I both worked when the kids were growing up...the girl kept her room
looking really great----the two boys were something else...
One day I gave them the ultimatium--"clean your room, or I will"........
they thought I was kidding, until I walked down the hall with a garbage can, and a number 12 scoop shovel......they beat me to their room, and barred the door until it was clean..
Iguess I got their attention the week before, when I told them to pick up their ball gloves and spikes out of the yard---they didn't---and when they asked their mother where they were at, she told them they went out in the garbage last week, and grandma was not to buy them new ones at a garage sale...
sometimes you just have to get their attention....
