does anyone elses kid purposely make a mess just so they get to use the dust buster to clean it up. thats right....jonah purposely threw his dried cereal on the floor then ran over to the dust buster with glee pointing and saying "me me me". ok so then I am filled with a dilemma. Do I let him clean up the mess he made, which is what he wants or do I punish him for purposely making a mess by not letting him use the dust buster to clean it up?

I'm all for other people cleaning but I don't want to encourage the mess making behavior.


Where is that parent instruction book they gave me when he was born?
