How often do you tidy your kid's bedrooms?

I do mine everyday (they help) as like to go to bed with everything put away (yes I am a bit obsessive lol).
Am I wasting my time? Should I just blitz it once a week??

I get my kids tidy their room up when they have finished playing with their toys, I then go through it properly once a week. I work full-time (school hours) and I don't have the time or energy to tidy it every day.

Daily here too - with 3yo DD's help. But then everything goes in storage bozes or has its own place, and not all go in her room. Tidy living room and kitchen before we go to bed too.

to tidy their room I meant!

3 or 4 times a week, but thats because of the mess WE make in it - not them! After all, all they do is sleep in it at the moment!

Quick tidy every day in case of house viewings. Playroom gets left as is.

I pick up toys daily, DD1 makes her bed (she is only 5, but loves having a nice bed ) Ds doesn't make his as he is on the top bunk. Hoover and dust once a week, also go in once a week with a black bag to throw away any broken toys or rubbish.

We did ds's today while he was away. It hasn't been done for 6 months and consequently it took FIVE HOURS . It'll look lovely for about the next ooh 11 hours while he's asleep.

Yes every day and mine are 13,11,9, and 3 ..they tidy up but i primp each day. Its a pain and i wish i did not!

Never, ds is 10 and capable of doing it himself.

cece · 22/01/2006 20:20

dd 4 and half tidies up when I nag her, this is usually when we can barely get in the room or get to the window to pull the curtains. So every week or so, plus I do a bit about once a week...

ds who is 2 gets his room tidied - with him helping - about once a week too.

Stay as you are Blossomhill, much easier to spend a few minutes each day than have to brace yourself for a big job weekly.
I do my children's bedroom everyday but it is very easy as they don't have any toys up there. We all do the playroom every evening. I like the fact that everything has a place, that way they can find anything they want to play with & then it is easy to put it away too. Tidy up time takes no more than 10 mins, usually less. My children are 6 & 3.
