Do you get angry when you tell your children to go play & they do, but they make a horrible mess?
Question:
Answers:
Although I do not understand why most mothers cannot be honest about questions like this maybe the need to be perfect or at least appear perfect to others won't let them. By anyway.Yes, I do hate it when I am busy and cleaning or whatever and I ask them to go play only to see that they have destroyed a room I just cleaned or messed up something that is going to be difficult to fix. It is easy to become frustrated when it seems that it is a never ending cycle of you cleaning one room only to find that they are messing them up as fast if not faster than you can clean them. What I had to do was make them clean their own messes up, this was hard and more stressful and time consuming than just doing it myself but they are slowing realizing that I am not their maid, and are making less messes. good Luck
lol no they always make messes
we just clean them up together
but yes I know where you are coming from
Children are children, the center of our universe! They have been known to make a mess of things, yes, but this is how they learn, in fact, Now we teach them how to clean up after this mess is made..Do it with a kind heart, it works better...As all of us they have to make mistakes to learn how things operate correctly."we learn from our mistakes'..as we all know.
If i told them that they could play, provided they will clean their mess and they did not follow..that's the time i will get angry. otherwise, i will call them and will let them help me clean their mess.I always give them options in any situations.
Yes, I get angry. And frustrated. Sometimes I break down and cry. And this is with just one child. My 3 yr old son. (my 5 month old daughter doesn't make messes yet LOL) It is hard to get him to clean up his messes, especially because the example set by daddy. he doesn't clean up his messes, either.
Don't feel alone.
