Fun parenting day! After cleaning all morning, I found crumbs and sticky mess all over the kitchen. I took a deep breath and called my kid in to talk.

I explained that all my life, I didn't have any autonomy; nothing I bought was mine, and I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to have a nice home for him if my husband left us.

But my husband did leave us, and I managed to make this nice home, with nice furniture and plants, where we made choices together, and ate well. I explained that cleaning it gave me pride and peace of mind, and that I did it out of love, a celebration of my hard work & success.

After this stupid long spiel, I asked if the kid had anything to say. And here's the punch line: "I don't want to have kids. I'm afraid I'll end up like you."

DOH. Lead by example like you’re doing. They’ll realize someday how great they had it. I mean, I HOPE they realize it someday. If not I may have made two grave errors.

You're thinking of this all wrong. The revenge comes not from the damn kid feeling bad about it one day, but by how severe the cleaning chores will soon become. Short term retribution is always best.

My mom had four kids (WTF was she thinking). She cleaned up after ALL of us and did all our laundry. She made dinner and cleaned up after. My Sarah and I have a rule, who ever cooks does not clean. I don't cook, so I'm always cleaning. Only now, do I realize how good I had it.

It’s honestly so much easier to just clean. Wrangling, scheduling, cajoling, nagging, and then screaming takes so much more effort and I don’t have the energy!
