My seven year old is popular with the nieghborhood kids and they all want to come and visit. In and out, tracking dirt, leaving "stuff" laying around, and trashing his room. Also... my roommate has a three year old that can't sit still and trails things all over the house. In the living room I can call them on it... but my son and I are always cleaning up rediculously huge messes in his room.
I've threatened to give his toys away, suggested he not let his buddies come over so much. It is a continous battle. I try not to get mad... but I get really sick and tired of going over this with him. Not sure how to handle the three year old, whom I babysit frequently. He leaves a trail in his wake. I'm very near banning him from my sons room entirely... but that's where I send him when he has tantrums... and the little noise box could spare me a headache some days by playing in the other room. Love them all verry much... I just feel like the kids maid sometimes. What to do?
