Told wife that was going to be the last time we move , and it has been. What made it worse it was on my birthday. I Hate moving.
Hahaha, good way to pick up a bunch of toys, lol.....
This reminds me of when my daughter's room was a disaster and I asked her to clean it up. She would just pick up the odd thing and put it away, but never totally clean up her room. She was about 13 or 14 years old.
I got mad one day and went in there with a bunch of garbage bags and put everything that was laying around and tossed it all in 3 black garbage bags full.
I put it all at the curb for garbage pick up......
I still remember the look on her face when she went in her room and noticed all her stuff gone. She got all panicky and asked me where her stuff was. I pointed to all the bags at the curb and she went balistic

She was going through the bags crying and yelling and begged me to let her bring them back in.
I told her she could have it all back if she could show she could keep her room clean for 2 weeks and she did.
AND, her room was always spotless after that
She still brings it up every so often and laughs at how the neighbours where all coming out to see why she was crying and yelling.
