you've been warned

Growing up, making my bed before breakfast was THE ONLY OPTION. We wouldn't even think of coming to breakfast with an unmade bed.

Unfortunately, this is something I have not been able to pass on. I just don't remember to enforce this rule and often pass by bedrooms with unmade beds, long after breakfast is over.

NO more, my friends, NO MORE!

Obviously, posting rules from "the Management" means business!

And if threats from "the Management" aren't scary, I don't know what is.

Notice the word "properly"?

When beds do get made around here, often the slightest effort possible is made. Usually that means that the bedspread is tossed over the top of the bed with no regard to the lumps, bumps, toys, shoes, underwear, etc underneath.
No more, my friends, NO MORE!

Are you scared yet?

Hmm, I'm curious about this claim, "Growing up, making my bed before breakfast was THE ONLY OPTION."

yeah...doesn't ring a bell. But it sounds like a good idea.

I, unfortunately, have the same making bed issues it appears your kids do. Hubby informs me that in order for a proper bed to be made it should take 28 minutes. I take 1 minutes, usually while holding Bean, balancing on my hip.

Hm...although I don't recall this rule growing up, although I'm sure it was there. I LIKE IT!

I think I will use it, since NO beds are made here, ever.

Now how do you get them to play with other kids? any? even one?
