The only time I pick up anymore is the night before the cleaning lady comes, just to get the stuff up off the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1063866 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 06:10:20 +0000 Dandelion 1063866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be so anal about keeping DS's things organized.</p> <p>That has since gone out the window. We need a good system and to start over. His room is always messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1063834 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 04:16:52 +0000 mrs.cookie 1063834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha lucky you saw that! I'm missing the circle :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1063826 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 02:09:30 +0000 808love 1063826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny! I try to do it once a week too. It just so happens it is the exact same time LO finds all of her previously invisible toys have become terribly fascinating and wants to touch everything I am putting away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1062198 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:21:17 +0000 autumnlove 1062198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.cookie: I found the triangle in our Diaper Genie! :-( LO is obsessed with the step lid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1061094 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 03:36:59 +0000 mrs.cookie 1061094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, absolutely!! I've been obsessively searching for a missing magnadoodle magnet stamp for days! I really, really like everything to be kept together. I try to relax my slightly OCD tendencies on this but it's hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060895 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 22:11:44 +0000 erwoo 1060895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!!! I get so bothered when I can't find a piece to one of their toys, especially puzzles. I found a few pieces under the couch when our furniture was going into storage and now it's going into my suitcase among other toys I found when the movers came. I do try to at least get things put in the "right" place after they go to bed but not lately. :) Although, I do need to find my alarm clock!! I keep telling them it's not a toy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060885 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 22:00:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1060885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: ooh, get this, but my girls can now disassemble the two speaker ends of the kid craft phone, so I have to hunt those down too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060874 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:51:43 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1060874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is one of my biggest pet peeves...I settle everything up at the end of the week before swapping out our toy rotation...and several times throughout the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060861 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:41:39 +0000 autumnlove 1060861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My LO hid the sink and phone from her Kidkraft kitchen....haha! I'm going crazy... :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060844 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:33:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1060844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, it feels so good to have compatriots in my neurosis. I feel like I'm fighting a battle with these odd stray things... Like after I write this I found a Lego with the blocks... Grr!</p> <p>I agree that these little bits an pieces are just taunting us, daring is to return them home. It's a constant schlep up and down the stairs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060570 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:29:05 +0000 chopsuey 1060570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It drives me crazy. P was missing from our alphabet puzzle for 2 weeks!! DD found it on of her house slippers....... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060564 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:25:57 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1060564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. Toys are strewn all over the house and in random bins or toy boxes. It drives me mad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060554 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:21:37 +0000 mediagirl 1060554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This type of thing doesn't bother me! I'll get them back together at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060547 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:19:47 +0000 mrsjyw 1060547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! A stacking cup, puzzle piece, etc. when it's not in its place/bin drives me aboslutely nuts! I try to collect it all daily, but that doesn't happen all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060520 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 17:52:03 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1060520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drives me crazy, BUT, since Ellie has started to do clean-up all by herself I have chosen to let it go. They are (primarily) her things, and if she wants a big jumble that's fine, as long as it fits Mr. T and my general perameters for what constitutes "clean." With Lorelei's things I expect them to go in the right spot, which is simplified by having one place to put them and few enough things out at a time to not make that so taxing. We are planning to do some thinking about reducing the amount out at a time since Ellie is old enough that she doesn't want or need to play with so many things to hold her interest and Lorelei is small enough that it doesn't matter so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060453 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 16:48:00 +0000 Cole 1060453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This drives me insane! I try to stay on top of it as much as I am able, every so often I go through and fix all of the craziness though. My least favorite phase ever is when they think it is fun to fill their shopping cart/backpack/purse etc with 4,927 random little things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060449 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 16:42:28 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1060449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It drives me nuts! Usually it's because LO took some random piece to his bedroom and left it there. I try to take care of it when I'm carrying other stuff up or down but sometimes it takes a while to get to it and meanwhile the random piece is taunting me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060447 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 16:40:11 +0000 lemondrop 1060447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We have the various shape sorters and stacking toys, the other day I found pieces in my bed! I hate to see pieces get lost, and feel the need to hunt them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060444 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 16:38:00 +0000 autumnlove 1060444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it drives me nuts when puzzle pieces are missing. I also assemble Mr. Potato Head before I sleep so my LO can rip him apart in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060434 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 16:34:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1060434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to keep up with it. We do have several catch all bins that I sort out once every few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-drive-you-nuts#post-1060431 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 16:33:42 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1060431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am constantly unsettled by the fact that one piece of a puzzle is downstairs and the rest is up or that there is a piece of play food in the playroom instead of with the play kitchen or that one of the trains has strayed from the train box.</p> <p>Does this happen to you? Does it bother you? Do you just let it be or do you have to organize right away? It's such a time suck, so I try to only do it once a week. But it drives me nuts! </p>
