Forgetful or Playing Me?

[AmandaKDT]

I have 3 four years old and 1 five year old and I have to remind them regularly to do all the things you listed. They are able to do all the things independently, but often have to reminded. I don't take it to heart, they are still young. But they don't whine about it, that would be annoying! I probably would have a consequence if my request to clean up after themselves was answered with whining. All I do is a quick reminder and they come back and do it. And no, it probably isn't helping that you are hormonal and pregnant! :-)
