I'm a SAHM of 2 boys, 3 & 5 and I can't stand picking up after them ALL the time. I know it's kind of my job but it;s always a struggle to get them to pick anything up. I have and I know it's horrilbe and I should have never fell into the trap but I end up doing it just so I don't have to mess with the fight to get them to do it. Any suggestions on how to get them to clean up? In an ideal world I would like them to pick up a toy after playing with it and then pulling out another, however, in the real world I'm just not sure that is what would or could ever happen with out me sitting there with them while they play to make sure they pick up right after they are done.

Anyone have any suggestions?
