I have 2 children at home and manage to keep on top of everything?


I have 2 21/2 year olds who seem to want constant attention and if they don't get it resort to re-enacting scenes from the worst war/torture films!! They will never agree on anything, with the exception of if we only have 1 of something then they will agree that they both want it - cue hand to hand combat! :eek:

Any tips for occupying the littlies while you get things done? If I give them each a damp cloth they fight over who gets to clean that square centimetre of window or whatever!!

Lell x

Cloth each and an allocated job each.. one to do the table, one to do the chair... quick race and bit cheers and clapping for the winner...

Squabbling.. ignore it unless there is blood. If they are silly enough to hurt each other you are not getting involved.. Unless of course it is potentially dangerous.. pushing down the stairs, dangling from 3rd floor windows, flushing head in the loo etc...

And they do appear to start getting slightly more civilised after about 2.5 ... and look on the bright side.. only a few more months until they can go to nursery

Cleaning with preschoolers is like peeing in the wind.. pointless.. and silly!
