Welcome to the first extreme cleaning motivation video of 2023! In this video I will be throwing everything out for a fresh start. Come clean with me as I declutter the kids room and FINALLY get rid of this mess and shed some mental stress! I made this cleaning super easy by deciding to tell myself that if it is on the floor..then it is in the trash! I have tried many storage ideas small and big and the reality is that it is just to much to manage for a child and I no longer want to manage this! I want to ensure I can allow her own confidence building through her own routines and keep things minimal so we can start fresh this year and focus on other aspects of life AND still manage our spaces and home in a functional way!!
Are you going to be making any extreme home changes this year as far as decluttering or new routines for your schedule?? Would love to talk about it below. I felt a little bad as a mom doing this, but also did not because she did not even care HAHAHA
WANT TO WATCH MORE CLEANING VIDEOS??

I think all the long-time viewers saw this coming lol. And although it makes for great content, I can't imagine how mentally exhausting it is to keep doing these types of cleans. So, bravo for starting to tackle the root behaviours creating this chaos!

@MomLikely Год назад

Amen! ❤️ thanks so much for being here.

@sunshinenday3439 Год назад

@@MomLikely I have 4, my oldest is now 18. Trust me her room has seen those days. Now with my youngest I've got a decent system down. Hamper in bathroom, and bedroom anywhere clothes come off put hamper. No eating in room helps if they need to be comfy snacking, living room is better.... Then teaching evening reset before dinner. Have them Pick up toys. Clothes in hamper. Trash in trash. Those simple things help so much. She's got a "creative spirit" lol just like my oldest. They're brain is always on 1000 go go go.

More power to ya, Mom! Am glad your video showed up on my side-list (whatever it’s called ☺️) Just subscribed. I hope you feel satisfied and refreshed after that hard work, and I pray you have much success with your resolutions! I’m older and empty nesting but remember doing the same thing with my son’s room. Love your attitude and resolve! Happy New Year!

Wow! I applaud you! That’s a lot of work!!! You showed real messes on the internet, you’re brave, many aren’t willing to do that. Great job mom ❤ less is more! Have you ever heard of the flylady? They have a kids version that you can download and put in a binder that will help her with daily tasks so it doesn’t get overwhelming again. She’s changed my life

@JacquelineLP Год назад

I did this when my daughter was around 8/9 years old, she was overwhelmed with all the stuff, she expressed to me one day "Mom this is your fault, you are the one that buys me everything" that hit me like a ton of bricks! Very huge learning lesson for me as a mom, she is going on 21 with her own place now and we have the greatest relationship! Good mom you are being by helping her! 👍🏽💐

I think a lot of us moms have been in your position! 2023 I'm focusing on ME. My kids and husband can (and hopefully will) get on board and stop leaving me to be their maid, organizer, planner, chef, etc. I'm done pouring from an almost empty cup! You got this momma!

@AngiesLife42 Год назад

Yes!!!! Same here!!! I think as moms we’ve just done so much for so long, they all just EXPECT us to keep doing it. We’ve created this by just doing so much and being the best we can be at everything & now we’re just exhausted! Here’s to us moms who are putting ourself first & passing off some responsibilities to others in the house🎉🎉🎉

@amywalraven3455 Год назад

What a beautiful kindness you have done for your daughter! I have no idea why kids churn through their all belongings without actually playing with any of it. I believe it’s a sign of overwhelm and discontentment. Having only the few things you truly love helps you feel grateful and contented and invested in and responsible for you possessions. It’s a fantastic life lesson. Well done!

@MomLikely Год назад

Yes I am thinking the same. Especially having room for crafting and then making a mess is ok we can clean it up without it getting on other stuff

@allysond727 Год назад

I agree with you 100%. It seems the less my kiddos have, the happier they are with what's left. And the same is true for me!

@shegoeslightly Год назад

I heard that it's from them trying to look for a particular item in a pile. So the pile doesn't happen anymore when you get rid of what they don't need/want use from each pile :)

Here via Midwest Magic Cleaning. This is so how I would be. If you have it, it's yours responsibility. If you can't take care of it, and you ruin it? All will be gone, and we start small again. Now I'm in my 50s, and all I want to do is declutter everything!

She should be helping you clean it up as well

@drodriguez071 Год назад

I did this for my 2 daughters who share a room when they were younger. Got rid of everything. Including clothes they didn’t wear and were still in good condition. They learned real quick to keep their room clean after that. Sometimes we have to be tough on them. They also learn to value what you give them. You did good!! Don’t be hard on yourself.👍

@pamwood3956 Год назад

My mom did the same. In later life mom became a sort of hoarder (she's been gone 9 years now) and I've realized I'm becoming the same. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video in my pursuit of decluttering and donating to local thrift store..I'm 61 now and realize that I need peace and simplicity above all of my junk.

@MomLikely Год назад

Absolutely and as a side note my husband has had to move around his mothers things because she has to much and one of his dilemmas is the fact that he try’s to not live like that and he is going to be the one having to face all of the stuff when she is gone because she can’t handle it . I wish you the best of luck. I hope you can get rid of things. ❤️

@CadetRedShirt Год назад

I will say that is what caused my hoarding, because my mother removed all my items I didnt feel safe having things i truly wanted when i was a kid so when i got my own place and felt like i could branch out i started hoarding things DX

I am new here, I am a 71 year old grandmother, you made my day when I watched you. I loved the way you tackled this room. ❤ I would have done the same as you, broom and all. I have realized if an adult is overwhelmed you can only imagine how a child feels. ❤ 😍

I’m happy to hear. That single thought alone got me to finally do this because we both needed it.

Your video popped up as a random recommendation. Glad I clicked on it. As an adult, I can say with full honesty that when your daughter is a little older she is going to appreciate what lessons you’re teaching her. Few and special is much more important than many and broken and replaceable. ✨

@MomLikely Год назад

❤️ thanks I hope she can embrace the teachings too

@sarahdickens1926 Год назад

Girl! My daughter is 10 and she is FINALLY starting to realize I cannot keep cleaning up her messes. Her room looked exactly like this a few days ago and last night I walked in after she went to bed and I could see the floor and she had actually cleaned it all up on her own!!! You did awesome with the new set up and the cleaning. She will thank you later!

Thank you for being so vulnerable! It takes a lot to show the world not only your struggles but your families. A lot of people are going to take this video and apply it to their own lives and also make their family life and home life better for themselves and their children. Physical clutter really does affect your mental well being and I'm so proud and admire you for sharing!

@MomLikely Год назад

Thank you! Yes exactly I was hoping many of us that have similar way of doing things as I was, would apply it and make some changes this year. I really hope so it’s wonderful feeling! ❤️

@CaliAnimalLover Год назад

As sad as it might have been for her to see this for the first time, I bet she’s secretly relieved. I remember when my kids bedrooms looked like this. And I used to try to put it all back together. But it was too much. I finally had to do something similar. And we have to remind ourself that if all those things were loved and cherished they wouldn’t be ruined and in piles all over the floor. You did good.

@lindsayryder1822 Год назад

This hit me right in the guts. My sons room gets like this. When you said your daughter can’t manage the things she has I thought “this is my answer”. I can get his room together in a way he can manage it. ❤ thanks for the inspo.

I applaud you for doing this! As a child, I was never taught how to clean and had my room emptied by my mom. Now, as an adult, I have ocd about clutter. It's a reality check that I needed. You're doing great!

@libraryofash277 Год назад

That’s how my step mother raised me as well. If everything was shoved in drawers she dump every drawer in my room into a giant pile including my closet and toy chest. I’d sit on the floor and cry next to the pile the whole day. Get grounded etc. It was overwhelming. I’m grateful for it as an adult because it taught me what not to do or rather what won’t work.

@michelleknotts4921 Год назад

Grandma here. Stumbled upon your videos in a search to inspire my grown daughter with her three darling mess monsters. THIS one earned my subscription. Love your heart, your spirit, and your tenacity. You are so far beyond where I was, as a mom, at your age. I think that you are simply Amazing.

@caroljean0220 Год назад

Girl, you do what you feel is necessary for you and your family. I am not judging because we have all had something in our lives that we felt held us back, but it's no one's business to judge. Maybe having less will help her to clean her room without feeling over-whelmed.

@nancyatieh2961 Год назад

I agree with you

@thesounknown Год назад

I was bummed watching you throw stuff out at first but you really explain it so well and I totally understand why you would throw away so much. There comes a certain point where you just need to reset and I think it’s so awesome you want to teach your girls better. Way to go! Satisfying clean; great job.

@FoxyOxymoron Год назад

Hello there. I am new to your channel. While I don't have children. I am a wife and we do have pets however, While I don't have the Mom perspective, I can tell you that setting boundaries for yourself are so very important. No judgement should come from how you need to take care of you so that you can be the best version of yourself for you and your family. Honestly I would not have done anything different than you did. It is mentally draiing to have to keep up with things like that and now your kiddo will have exactly what she plays with and nothing more. Less things for her and you to take care of. You keep doing what's best. Thank you for sharing your real life and keep being amazingly you.

@TheThyckVixen Год назад

I feel you girl! My youngest son has a bed a dresser and a hamper in his room. He has a small toy bucket in the closet and that’s it. He sneaks food and breaks everything. When he starts maturing and making better decisions he can have more stuff. I cleaned his room for 2 hours the other day. It was a traumatic experience no lie. I cried. You’re not alone sis.

Yes I have been in that position many of times.

@teajohnson8802 Год назад

AMEN AMEN, I totally totally understand. My daughter, granddaughter, husband and myself all live together. I am now 65 yrs old retiree. When my granddaughter was 4yrs old, every Friday, she and I would clean up her room and she loved it. I taught her the three pile system, 1st pile was "trash", the 2nd pile was the "I don't know pile", and the 3rd pile was "keep & put it where it belongs" & and we would sing the song "clean up, clean up". I told her when she gets older she's going to do it by herself. This worked so well until she turned 9yrs old. The room went to the opposite side of the world. So I get it, I snapped. Just throw everything out. I'm praying for you, I'm praying for your daughter, your family. Remember to breathe, take care of yourself, replenish your strength. Kudos to all that have to go through these kind of issues. Just know you're not by yourself keep smiling sweetie aka mom_likely

I can totally relate to this video. I have two young kids and their rooms have gotten so bad to where I’ve literally just shut the door because it was too much. People can judge, sometimes it’s just too much. You at least opened the door lol my sons room smelled so bad one time and I cleaned it top to bottom all for him to just stink it up. Like bruh, why?! We’ve gotten a better hold of it lately but it can still get rough in there.

this made me so happy, I’m 15, currently cleaning my room and getting rid of basically everything and redecorating and this video made me feel just pure joy, my room had no where to walk, the rubbish and childhood toys and clothes piled up at least 1 metre high and you could not see the floor, I threw out everything (apart from clothes and very few toys to keep) and what I didn’t throw out I’m in the process of selling or donating, my room is bare, I’m selling all the furniture, bed, draws, and desks and everything, I’m repainting the room and starting basically fresh. this video made me so happy that this girl is gonna have a clean room and it makes me so happy, hope everything goes well for you, you’re doing incredible

@Emmaslaysinroblox2.0 Год назад

I totally commend you for throwing it all away. We as moms reach a point where we realize all the “things” are not as important and significant as the lessons of respecting what they do have. Kudos to you!!!!!

@teddybear283 Год назад

My daughter is 11 and we have struggled with this too. I got rid of everything she doesn’t regularly use. I make her clean it and go in once a week to do a mom clean while she’s at school. She is finally starting to understand it’s more comfortable to be tidy and starting to keep it up herself. Don’t worry, this is just a phase of life that will pass.

@pattyk101 Год назад

Wow, this brings back memories! I'm thinking of all the times I sat, cross-legged on the floor of one of my kid's bedrooms. Trashcan to my left, cardboard box to my right and my daughter or son right there with me, helping to sort out the mess. Where's the kid? Give her a magic sponge and have her clean her art work off the walls 😜

@MomLikely Год назад

She fed helps with new messes already. At the end I explained when I started the channel They used to be in the mix helping while I filmed but I had them stop being on camera.

@lauramitchell6725 Год назад

Maybe next time ,film the “before”, then off camera that week have your kids scrub their artwork off the walls ( that punishment really fits the crime and teaches the consequence) then include the scrubbed walls in the “afters”.

You have done yourself & your family a huge favour. When things get so out of control it calls for drastic measures. Now you can start with a clean slate & vow never to let it slip into that state again. You should be proud of yourself.

I think it too easy to criticize when a person has not stood in the proverbial shoes, with the problems, hurts, resource status and daily pressures... You are doing what you can when you can and as you can. Sharing this journey with others should not mean you receive poor support. Good job- lots of effort is demonstrated and willingness to tackle changes. This can be so very hard, I know from experience, and I applaud your attitude! Keep going! Many people appreciate your story.💫❤

@MomLikely Год назад

Thank you! ❤️ I agree. Many have a hard time understanding other peoples shoes. We don’t have to always experience it but we can be understanding.

@darbirhian Год назад

Stumbled across this video. It takes guts to post a video like this. I know with our family, our eldest just turned 9 and she is really artistic and has hoarding tendencies. My spouse purges her room regularly and I deep clean it, as I suck at purging. Good luck to managing the home better in 2023.

@nnylasoR Год назад

Hi …. I just want to say I am 42 and battling lifelong hoarding disorder - and although I do not know you, your husband, nor your sweet girl, I have much to say on this matter. I can say with certainty that my “tendencies” were brought on / fueled / exacerbated by not only touchy family dynamics, but due to my belongings, my precious things, my comforts constantly disappearing. I was not the one deciding to part with them - they were just, GONE. 🥺 That sort of thing **is** traumatic, and causes some of us to grasp tighter to anything we can. I pray that you all have loving, empathetic relationships with eachother, and I hope that you involve your daughter in these ‘purges.’ Yes, she is your child and that is your home - but it is her home too and she is a human being. She not only has emotions and reasons behind her “tendencies,” she needs your guidance and the decision-making practice… as well as practice bettering her space and sense of accomplishment and *worth.* ♥️♥️♥️

@MomLikely Год назад

I agree! There are a few things she asked for in her room and come the spring if she keep showing she is Lerner and participating in the family chores dynamic as reward I’m going to find her the items and hopefully that will encourage her to love the space and keep it nice more on her own too.I’m sorry these things have happened with you ❤️ maybe category decluttering could help you discard unused items.

@TheW3avers Год назад

Yes, yes, yes!! I had to do this with my 8 yr old daughter. We would clean her room together and the next day.... it was a complete disaster. I repeatedly told her if its on the floor, its going in the trash. I would always try to save a few toys for her but I also thought, if she doesn't care about it then why should I. So in the trash it went, or donated if we could. I felt bad for doing this but felt so relieved after it was done. Her room is alot more manageable for her and I now. Glad we did it!

@darbirhian Год назад

@@TheW3avers I can understand this. I'm getting to this point with my daughter. It's the mess on the floor that gets me, as it's like the entire space is game for everything and any little thing. I find a bit of clutter or mess on her furniture is far easier to manage as the space is far smaller. Her room is better now than it was a few years ago, and every so often she is motivated to tidy up and organize her things. She doesn't really notice when her dad purges; she hoards a lot of junk, quite frankly. It's so freeing to be rid of it!

@MomLikely Год назад

Yes that was my same thinking doing her room. It just has to be done if it’s going to improve the space for everyone.

@californiadreamer5968 Год назад

I commend you! I was a single, working mom and couldn’t do everything by myself. I gave up trying to keep up with the kids room and it got to looking just like this. I kept the rest of the house relatively tidy. I wish I had done exactly what you did. Instead I just let it go. To this day, both of my daughters still live like they did then. I have regrets. The loss of a few bags of “Stuff” to gain life long lessons. Good for you!!

@karencox3235 Год назад

I'll reiterate the "no judgement"! I'm a mom of 8 and our house was nuts, disgusting, messy, cluttered, out of control and just crazy most of the time. My youngest is now 13 and things are way better - especially since 4 kids have "launched". My 13 yo (boy with high functioning autism) still needs help keeping things from getting bad in his own room. It's a never ending challenge to be a mom. You're doing great!

@Tremama83 Год назад

I thank you for being real. Frustration does come, tears come. I especially can relate because I work full time and come home to a trashed house. I had to really put my foot down. We love our families, but they don’t get how much it takes to run a household. Bravo for sharing!

@goodenough6331 Год назад

I remember doing that at one point for my kids - literally tossed everything - it shocked the kiddos so much that they began to take better care of their things. They are now grown and have kiddos of their own and they still remember what I did - and they have learned from it - trust me. We are a more minimal family now and that is a great thing. I enjoy your videos.

@simplycorinne Год назад

I totally see where you are coming from and I've watched you clean her room time and time again! I grew up with a Mom that was OCD about our things. We literally kept tallies on toys- we had to count pieces while putting things away. No game/toy ever lost a piece. Some of my toys stayed in the box forever. The crazy thing is, our house was filled to the brim with clutter and "collectibles", yet it was methodical. I'm now somewhere in the middle when it comes to my own kids. I let them play, be imaginative, and actually use their toys but they have to treat their things with respect. If a piece goes missing, no big deal I will eventually find it and put it back. But I'm huge on treating your things with respect. But kids are kids and I'm always loosing my marbles too LOL. Sending hugs, you're doing awesome 🤗

I remember when my mom "threatened" to do this to my room and, after sulking for awhile, I cleaned up enough that my mom then helped me. But I can totally understand why you threw so much of it away. I would have done the same thing. Awesome job!

@jeannenabozny5675 Год назад

Great job. I raised 7. Clean simple rooms workable space is best. This helps them appreciate clean spaces as adults. They get out of their rooms and engage as family. Great great job. You got this!

@shellygreen734 Год назад

Good for you! I declutter every few months. It can get really overwhelming. I can remember when my boys were young. They could make a mess out of nothing lol.

It is so nice to see a parent be a parent. Bless you.

@FoD1975 Год назад

Me again! ☺️ I just wanted to say that you are NOT a failure as a mum! You acknowledge that your child is just that - a child; and she needs you to do that. All the very best with your goals. 🥰

@laurahartman9170 Год назад

Hello! I'm new here (suggested by Midwest cleaning magic) but ooooh momma did I feel this video. I just spent a full day with my college student overhauling their room at home. It's not that I haven't taught my children how tidy, clean, take care of things. But this kid had gotten overwhelmed, a little buried, and needed the grace to start fresh! Everything is a season.

I love watching deep cleans like this because whenever I have a huge mess I always feel overwhelmed like I don’t know where to start. It’s so motivating to see someone just dive in and get it done.

@maryrichardson6205 Год назад

I found you through Midtown Magic Cleaning. I am 71 now but I have two children who shared a room and I remember the days of not being able to see the floor. I too would make my children help but as they were small I did the majority but it is important so they know how to clean up a big mess. I found out my kids were trying on clothes and then dropping them to the floor unworn well finally I figured that out and said fold them in your drawers if they are clean or I will put them in the trash, same with anything else on the floor. I gave them crates with categories that went in their closet and even though it took repeated episodes my grown children both keep a well organized house and they have good work ethics. They have pride in their work. So don’t despair you are raising responsible humans.🙂

@ourworld581 Год назад

Love what you said about "what our children can manage" and also "having hardly anything in her room". I did this with my daughter's room and it's worked out heaps better! Less stuff! This was relaxing and motivating at the same time x

@belindadaniel-oginga929 Год назад

I believe most of us are feeling this in one area of life or another. I love that you are feeling a need to have a change “of season”. God teaches us best in terms of seed and harvest. Plant good seeds for you and your family and wait patiently for the harvest. ALSO, image how she must feel. Over stimulated, overwhelmed maybe even like she is disappointing you when she can not manage these great things you have given her. Less may be empowering for her and in the end you! Do it with love. It is already okay.

@TheLydiaM Год назад

Girl. I feel you. I have three children and my oldest is the worst at his room. I always tell them that it doesn’t have to be perfect but if we are grateful for our things/home then we need to take care of it. It also take teamwork so if they need help, kind of like you were saying we can help each other. You did a great job. ❤

midwest cleaner sent me here. He was right. Thank You for showing your emotions....women everywhere need to see what healthy looks like.

I love this video because it shows the realness of motherhood. My son is about to be 8 tomorrow and about 8 months ago I recorded a video on my channel cleaning his room and talk about my comment section is FILLED with people judging me. Lol! They act as if their house has never gotten out of hand before. You did a fantastic job!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

@sitsngigglesful Год назад

I tried to look thru comments to make sure no one was hating. Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for being real! This is far more real for most of us than a lot of what is posted on social media. You do what you can. We do what we can. My house is all like this right now it seems. I'm getting there with you!

@MrMrslambino Год назад

I'm right there with you momma. I've started doing the exact same thing in my home. I need my sanity back and good relationship with my children. The constant mess and all the stuff is so mentally exhausting for me. The visual clutter resorts to clutter in my head. We don't need it all we just need to love and value what we do.

@hannahmclaren9672 7 месяцев назад

Yes sweet imagine how she feels overwhelmed too. You should be proud of yourself for tackling something and realizing it's out of her capabilities as well.

@tessunderwood1656 Год назад

Only a Momma could clean this hard while sick!!!! Way to go🎉

@mariehenderson3265 Год назад

I’ve been there with my daughter too. It was exhausting. Once she turned 15 she finally started to care more about “her space”. She’s 21 now and she’s the neatest person in the house. You’re doing great.

@kaiblack3334 Год назад

All parents go through something like it, so it happens. What I have learned with my two... 13 and 17 YR olds was being consistent with teaching them to clean and realizing they both learn differently... My son (13) don't handle the details very well, so I keep his room very minimal and I always make sure everything has a place. Now my 17yr old when she was younger, she worked better with chore charts. She enjoyed marking off when she tackled a chore. I also tried to make cleaning fun for them when they were younger, so we would play music and have dance cleaning parties, so it was easier to keep them on task and they would want to clean. Since they are older, those things have stayed with them. They both play music when they clean😂😂. Do they still have moments when they don't get it all done... Yes Lord🤦🤦 but the consistency is what works the best and making sure you know how they learn. Parenting is trial and error, so we don't always get it right the first time. Every child is different. The fact that you see the problem and sometimes, we as parents can be the problem😒 the wins are when we recognize it change it and move forward. WELL DONE MOM👏👏👏🥰🥰

You are being practical. You have to be able to handle it and what you are doing is right for you. No judgement from me. I support you.

❤️🙌🏽 yes I’m so glad. I wanted to share what I am really going through and I was so hoping to inspire similar changes for others. Thank you, I hope you have a great new year.

@Jess-jwg Год назад

My kids have a chore list to do after school everyday and cleaning their room is one of those. So 5 days a week they clean their room. I got tired of doing this all the time too! I also through a bunch of stuff out and my house never gets destroyed anymore. It's SO FREEING. I know exactly how you feel. Been there and I can tell you after making it out to the otherside you will never regret getting rid of stuff!

@donnalund9412 Год назад

Came across this video and I think that the cluttered rooms I had were the reasons self care entitle me to purge some of the junk in my life. I would say “..is thing I’m holding gonna matter to anyone if I should die now in the spot?” Purging allowed to be freed of junk-depression went away. Seriously- elevated me.

@KlingonPrincess Год назад

My room was such a mess as a child. I was super tidy as an grown up until the past few years with depression and such. I've been seriously decluttering (I even threw out my 32 year old daughter's baby teeth 😬). I love that wall mop! Brilliant! You did such a great job on the whole room. 👏👏👏 💜

@dianepisarcik7185 Год назад

I've never viewed your channel before...I thought you had the best mindset for your decision to totally transform your daughters room. I don't think it was wrong to throw away so much. You did an amazing job! Hopefully she appreciates how hard you worked to make her room so clean. You showed that you have expectations and want a healthy space for your home!!

@tinablum9089 Год назад

Sometumes you just need a complete reset. As a mom...I totally understand. Stay strong Mom!

@rhondathacker5814 Год назад

Girl I definitely know your pain. I was constantly cleaning up after my daughter. It got to the point that I actually took everything out of her room. Especially drawers where she could stuff things in it.

@katherineravanello5128 Год назад

Good for you. Kids need responsibilities,even if it’s just keeping their own space decent. Your a good mom

@rebeccab942 Год назад

Your daughter is incredibly lucky to have such an understanding mom. I have diagnosed ocd that I struggle with, my children live in an extremely minimalist house and I worry that they miss out on toys or learning to handle their spaces. But watching and listening to you takes some of the guilt away. They don’t need/ can’t handle having all the things; they need a curated space to focus on what matters most to them. 🎉Happy New Year’s

@siszam Год назад

When my sons were little I put a small trash can with a bag in it in their room. I taught them when the garbage is full you bring it to the big trash can and put a new bag in the little can. I think it's a good habit to teach.

@heatherbarbour781 Год назад

I've cleaned my kids rooms like this too and they never asked me where something was that I ended throwing away. You're doing great mom.

@helenwalker9751 Год назад

You are a good mom. Its a start...you have good goals so just stick to them (nobody's perfect, get the kids involved. Make a daily cleaning chart for them and reward them with stickers on the chart that turns into $ at the end of the week or month ) and like you said cleaning is an ongoing job. We all gotta LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES and dont repeat them

@GSP315 Год назад

You did the right thing! You are a great mom and I am proud of you!

@farzaanafisher6662 Год назад

I’ve been feeling completely defeated by the state of my house. We have too much STUFF and not every member of the family takes responsibility for their stuff. I have small kids and m constantly torn between ‘Your house will be dirty all the time because your kids are enjoying themselves. This is what they do’ and ‘I cannot function in an untidy place so I work myself to a standstill and spend all my time doing this and still don’t get to enjoy a clean space’. Thank you for this video. I needed this. It’s motivating me as I’m soon embarking on a similar project.

@MomLikely Год назад

Happy new year to you!! Hope you have a safe and healthy year! Are you working on anything to start the year in the house or with your routine? I made a major change in this video and it feels amazing. Would love to hear your plans.

@shalinaharris7684 Год назад

Hello Dear, I have to watch your channel for a while. Sorry to hear you were ill glad to see you better. Just take one day at a time. I have 3 children and can remember getting on my kids about their rooms (when they were older). I also was a single mom and working. When my kids did what I asked, I took things away from them and they understood why?. It is a hard job, mom's work is never done. But it will make us stronger. Two of my are grown but I have 14 yr old one and have to double-check his cleaning or help sometimes. what I did when I not feeling like to self, I do self care like getting my hair, and nails, spa day something that makes me feel good. Also, I read my bible daily which helps a lot. Help see things clearly . I can relate to how you feel (no judgment from me) I have been there. God bless and stay blessed.

@savanaashleigh626 Год назад

Starting the new year off with less and clean spaces is always a great feeling!

@anjelagray60 Год назад

Just found your channel and I’m so glad I’m not the only one that did this too. I felt so good after I threw everything out

@mRsFuEnTeS35 Год назад

Thank you for always sharing with us! This is me rite now. I always find myself buying more storage things in hopes that if I teach them where everything goes it’ll help. It doesn’t it’s more Chaos more spaces to fill with unnecessary things

@projectqueen610 Год назад

Your right..none of us can manage this much excess. It causes anxiety. There is so much freedom in letting go.

@fernelouise8570 Год назад

Currently sat in my kids room just like this, getting the motivation to get the bags out and do the exact same! Well done mama 💜

@lauriekerze3461 Год назад

My parents made every Saturday late morning bedroom cleaning day.I didn't appreciate it then, but it did set a good example for life.

@fayseese9072 Год назад

I honestly think it's great you did this. Sometimes they need it. I love how you have a normal home and you show it and it makes me watch your channel. Your real and I Thank you for that. I'm a mom of 3 boys 2 of them share the whole upstairs and it gets so trashed. But you did what more parents should do. These kids these days have no discipline! Great Job and love your channel!

@trishb6895 Год назад

This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen and as a mom of five I can so relate. I am so proud of you for removing all that garbage. It was clearly not stuff she needed. I truly do not see this as a punishment but rather as a gift. Like you said she could not manage it. You yourself were so overwhelmed. As seen in brief pauses on the video along with what you said. Imagine being little dealing with that. Aside from not giving back the computer I feel like she must have felt relief when she saw she had her peaceful space back. I hope it’s helped all of you keep her room a peaceful retreat. And I’m so glad you flipped the bed for her too. Good idea mom.
