I Am Raising Pigs...
Not really, but it feels like it after the city dump kid's room I just started cleaning...an hour ago...and it's worse than when I started...
Mypiglets children, Spawn and Deuce, live in a bedroom, as do most children...the similaries end there...
I sent them up there yesterday with a garbage bag, and told them to clean. Now, maybe I wasn't specific enough. "Clean" does not mean:
1.Throw a few random papers in said garbage bag.
2. Stuff the garbage bag I just gave them, all the dirty laundry, candy wrappers (which they aren't allowed to have in their room), papers, toy packaging from Christmas, 652 socks, assorted shoes, hats, books, crayons, movies, games, and everything else they can get their hands on, under the bed and the dresser!
3. Play.
This, my friends, is evidentally what they did, because when I went in there to "straighten up" and "throw out a few broken toys", this is what I found.
Had to have Spawn crawl under the bed to get out the dumptruck sized load of shit under there. 95% was tossable.
Had to have Deuce stretch his skinny arms under the dresser, because neither Spawn nor I could get our arms under there, and get out the rest of the crap.
I plowed thru the room trying to get out so I could have a smoke break, cause I was about to start snapping necks, I was so pissed! Not really snapping necks, that would be crazy, but really, I was pissed!!!
Now I'm going back up to the disaster, to see what I can salvage...I think I need a 30 gallon garbage can in their room, so they cannot possibly miss...it wouldn't matter though, they would still just toss it under the bed and dresser...

oh honey.....Didn't you know that you are suppossed to do this BEFORE Christmas? It makes it so much easier! GEar them up for all the shit they are GONNA get ! LOL....
I feel your pain....My daughters room fucking pisses me off everytime I look at it....Then I am reminded of what my room looked like when I was a kid...
When I cleaned I shoved it: in the closet and under the bed....It was out of the way and out of eyesight....What's to be pissed about? Now I know!
OH and I disagree with the money thing....It's their job as a family member to keep things tidy....don't start the allowance thing....I don't believe in it! They ought to have to do it....YOU HAVE to do it....why shouldn't they?
I make my kids do stuff and I don't give them a dime...I pay their fucking bills! meds....driving them to ballet, soccer, karate...That's their fucking paycheck!
For some reason, there's an age range (4-24, I think) where there's no semblence of rational thought. The little dears don't understand what clean is . . . bless their little necks.
