Toilets (to clean or not to clean!)

Interesting enough we are having such a funny little discussion in my house in the midst of the robot mess, stress, chaos, we are in. You see all my three darling children have chores to complete in the mornings and one of those is the bathroom. They scrub the sink, the mirror, the counter, pick up things from the floor and so on. Also they are to wipe down the toilet every morning (because too many little people who don't care too much about toilets reside in this house and use this bathroom a lot!). Also until about a month ago they scrubbed the inside of the toilet every morning. Well mom found a neat invention, but costly and therefore has changed this routine to scrubbing once a week. This neat invention is just a handle that you attached a scrubber that already has bleach, cleaners, and scrubbers in it. You simply attach it to the handle, dunk it in the water, and voila the cleaners are released and off you go.

So the reason for my post is this: All my little people are getting mad at the others because they haven't had a turn to clean the toilet! LOL! Isabella's turn is on Mondays and even though she has been told she isn't to clean the toilet, she does so anyhow and there ensues the arguement. Zech and Sarah haven't had the pleasure (too funny I know) of cleaning the toilet with Mom's new invention (or purchase). So I have to tell her, yesterday once again, DO NOT clean the toilet because your brother and sister want too. Now you can't punish her for this, I mean seriously who punishes their child when they WANT to clean the toilet. Not this momma, however these new cleaning scrubbers are $4.00 (w/tax) for 6 of them and that categorizes them expensive and I don't want to have to buy them every week for the enthusiam of my children wanting to clean the toilet.

Maybe in the wake of all this robotics event they will figure out a robot to do their chores for them! Happy scrubbing!

Tell them they are more then welcome to come over to my house and scrub...I love those scrubber things, but even using 1 of those once a week can be expensive.
