Claire's room is a mess and has been for awhile. I keep sending her in there to clean, but I never see any progress. As I was tucking her in tonight this was our conversation:
Me: Claire, your room is a mess.
Claire: I know. I'll clean it tomorrow.
Me: I've been trying to get you to clean it all week. I think tomorrow while your sisters are busy we'll have to tackle it together.
Claire: ok. but my rule is you can't throw out anything unless it is garbage.
Me: I think when a mom has asked her little girl to clean her room for over a week, then the mom gets to make the rules.
Claire: Well, I made my rule first.
