I remember the kids who visited who weren’t taught to clean up. This post from Kudos and Kiddos is spot on!
So as parents we are supposed to teach our kiddos how to be decent human beings. We start young with how not to color on tables and walls. Then we graduate to things like don’t chew with your mouth open, and clean up your mess.
One thing I’ve seen that drives me nuts is when my kiddos go to someone’s house and makes a mess.

I definitely feel better when I take the time out to do a bit of stretching, it really helps as I get spasticity. Plus it is relaxing, which is a big plus! Best wishes x
