The mess!!!!

[autumngirl714]

Does anyone else really struggle with the MESS of children?!
I have two children and I parent on my own. They are SO messy and I really struggle with it. My youngest gets is good at tidying up, the eldest, well, it's a work in progress!
They've just gone to their dads this morning and I've had time to put their things away properly and nicely(!!) and I feel like I can finally breath again!
I just get so overwhelmed with clutter and toys out. This is a me problem, not them! They're allowed to get their toys out, I'm just screaming inside 🙈

I've got a two year old whose mission everyday is to get every single toy out and scattered around my living room 😅 I'm so glad I've only got one, don't think I'd handle two sets of toy mess😂

The only solution is to cull the toys. Too many toys is fewer toys than you'd think in my book!

But you've got to do whatever works for your family. For me too many toys is stress for me and stress for my child, but some people don't mind it and thrive on the chaos of toys everywhere.

My son is 3 and he has one of those IKEA Kallax cube units with 8 cubbies- with baskets of toys in 4 of them, and a few favourite toys on display in the other 4. Separate to that he has a train set and trains, a flisat table with kinetic sand and little diggers and trucks in it, and a bookshelf.
