'We have a backpack bench in the kitchen, but the backpacks rarely land there. We have a shoe rack by the front door, a coat closet, and buckets with name tags in the bathrooms for toothbrushes, but…well, you get the idea.'
At this point I walk away. I don’t have a response that won’t re-emerge in a therapy session years from now.
My children are always losing stuff. I know kids are kids, and kids lose stuff. Heck, adults lose stuff. Laurie’s favorite phrase is, “Where’s my cell phone?” But my hyper kids are relentless in their forgetfulness. They lose everything, all the time. They lose something, then occasionally they find it, then they lose it again.. Some work and some don’t. When the kids’ school issued them iPads to take home, Apple cords tangled up our entire lives.
Not all of our attempts at organization are successes. We have a backpack bench in the kitchen, but the backpacks rarely land there. We have a shoe rack by the front door, a coat closet, and buckets with name tags in the bathrooms for toothbrushes, but…well, you get the idea.I think the root cause of most of our chaos is that we have four kids, and Laurie and I can’t live our lives policing household rules.
