Realization

The other day I was frustrated that the kids were leaving their stuff everywhere and the house was cluttered. I started telling the kids to pick up their things, make their beds that hadn't been made for a couple of days etc. I said I'm tired the house always gets so messy. None of the kids said anything, then Mason said "Mom I think you are the only one who cares about clean." Point made. I quit stressing myself out over constantly nagging the kids about straightening and now I just close their bedroom doors. Kids have such a way of being so honest.
