I really wanted to clean the bathroom without Megan and Ethan getting in my way, so i put both the kids in the girls bedroom and put the stairgate at the bathroom door so they couldn't get in. (the reason for this, is when they tried to help me last week, it was a nightmare, not only did it take me 3 times as long but having to continually move things from ethans reach was a nightmare). So here it begins, i clean the bathroom in record fast time as i have no children around, it feels great... until i then walked into the girls bedroom and find this!!
My happiness turned into shock and horror... (and what you can see is a small amount, their beds where a mess, there was toys all over the hallway etc.). So what did i do, i calmly put the toy tent up in ethans room so they would play in there and i started the clean up job.
So was it worth it? letting them play while i cleaned... the answer here is NO. Yes i got the bathroom done in record time and it looked great, but the clean up of toys took longer than when i let them help me.
