I am determined to win this one

The world of technology has gone away for Ella, Holly, and Jillian. At least for now. I am using it as currency to get them to clean up the mess that they have made of the basement, again. I really don't mind them playing their hearts content down there. It is why we moved the toys to the big finished space. What I do mind, however, is the complete unwillingness to acknowledge that they should, at least help put things away. So here we are at a standstill. I refuse to yell, lecture, or talk them into doing the right thing. Instead it is simply a very quiet morning. No computers, no TV until the toys are put away. Period. Let me know when you decide that you would like to comply. Maybe it will be quiet forever.....

I support you. It is a constant battle in our small house to keep the kid stuff picked up.
