DD, aged 7, has been told more times than I can number to put anything she values away rather than, for example, leaving her tablet on an arm chair or her favourite DVD on the floor. She rarely tidies anything away unless forced to by me. DH is just as messy and thinks of my efforts to tidy up and get others to do so as nagging. Today, DD left her homework on the dinner table, with a pen. DS, aged 2, drew on it when I was busy for a few minutes.
DH is furious with DS but not DD. I tell her on a daily basis to but things, especially anything important, away. Now she has learned the hard way. I am cross with both of them as I feel that they are both at fault.
Thoughts?

To think that if you leave your stuff right where a toddler can find it, you can't complain when the toddler wrecks it?
