I suffer alone, following a lonely and solitary routine of organising my kids’ toys
I'm laughing here because it's so real, when you've just finished putting all the toys away in their place—after explaining that they have a spot and should go back there after playing. 2 minutes later they're all scattered again because that little thing went to get what she wanted, and then wanted another, and another, and another…
She's been learning little by little, and when I speak, she helps me put things away sometimes. I take away access to some of them by putting them up high, explaining that she already has plenty to play with and that those are sleeping and resting; this is to reduce the amount of toys that are just taking up space rather than being used for play.
I know your battle
