its soooo easy to fix half assed effort around the house. if they arent cleaning well enough, and they wont finish the job even after being asked nicely...mess the whole damn house up, right then and raise hell while youre doing it(tell hubby in advance) make a scene out of it and THEN make them clean it all up. REPEAT this process maybe 3 times, problem solved. if you arent a bitch all the time theyll understand and appreciate it in a few years. who gives a shit how they feel about you right now?? youre a parent, and youre responsible for teaching your kids(as we all are) to be upstanding, decently intelligent citizens. Youve got this.
