Cleaning House A Mom TwelveMonth Experiment to Rid Her Home of Youth Entitlement Kay Wills Wyma Michael Gurian 9780307730671 Books

I was extremely interested in the premise of the book. The author starts out with a good explanation of the "entitled children" however I got bored. Similar to another review, I felt like there was too much of saying the same stuff over and over. For such a great topic to write about, I just feel it was too lacking. I didn't feel like I walked away with a strong foundation to start reversing the sense of entitlement I see in my own kids.

After getting to the point of complete frustration with my children, especially my eight year old who is the oldest, I ran across this book and bought it immediately. Since I was able to download it on my , I began reading it right away and was hooked. Wyma is an excellent writer and I found myself highlighting all over the book. I agreed with everything she said and was instantly inspired to require more of my children for their futures' sake. I have a hard time reading books that will help me, not because they aren't good, but because they just aren't interesting enough. Not so with this book! I couldn't put it down. I laugh and cry along with this honest, loving, hard-working mom of five. And I'm not sure if it's a result of my efforts in response to this book, but my eight year old has been much more helpful around the house and she's actually not complaining about it! It's a MUST read!
Assuming your kids are still at home, this book will be a great encouragement to help you & them battle against the current lies of our society about what is due to us & what we must earn.

Kids must learn how to navigate life & not just be spoon-fed & constantly given empty/un-earned praises.

Kay shares how she accomplished this with her family of 5 kids of various ages in this honest & humorous book.

The sooner you start with your kids the easier - the key is to just start - no matter their age - then follow through (that's your job mom)!
Loved this book - and I don't even have kids! Quick read and entertaining - well-written and seems helpful if you have kids. I happen to live in the same area as the author so know exactly what she is talking about. I even see this when I recruit college graduates to work at my company. I finished this quickly and passed it on to my sister - who has 3 kids. I expect to pass it along to my other sisters after she is done -)
I seldom reread a book, but I bring this one out every summer for inspiration to put my kids to work and not wait on them all summer. It's a must read for all moms!
Perhaps it is her admission of "failure", her realistic expectations, or her terrific example, but I was really impacted by reading "Cleaning House". We have implemented a similar experiment in our home, and I have eager participants (although my four-and-a-half-year-old daughter has been found more than once in this first month enthusiastically handing over her daily dollar rather than facing the mess that she felt would take too much effort...) to some extent. They are excited to have some amount of money at the end of the month. And my son suggested that we should take any daily dollars that had to be removed from a jar and place them in what he called "The Fail Jar". I think we'll end up donating our failed-to-earn Daily Dollars to a charity of the collective choosing...
I had really high hopes for this book because of the good reviews, and especially because of a real desire to make changes in my house. Unfortunately, before long I found myself skipping paragraphs and feeling disappointed. I guess I was hoping it would be more of a how-to book rather than very unspecific thoughts. The most specific she got was her description of putting $30 in a jar for each child, then taking out by dollar when they didn't do their chore. I thought that giving a young kid $30 was crazy. I have three kids....am I really going to pay them $90 a month?? Who can do that? This was at the beginning of the book, and I guess I was pretty turned off from there. There's a LOT of repetition, too...she fills page after page ranting about the evils of entitlement and giving examples of 20-somethings that have to move back in with mom and dad because they can't survive in the real world. That's all well and good...and I'm still left wondering how to change that!!!
Just another self help book with no actual solutions offered.
I bought this book at the same time as Accountable Kids, and I couldn't hardly read the Cleaning House book. If you are looking for an extended (long winded) explanation about this subject and how things went for this mom, with vague ideas about what to do in your own home, with tiny inspirational moments dropped in 2 or 3 times, this is the book for you. If you've NEVER thought about this subject at all and this idea of your children not being spoiled has never crossed your mind, this is a great book to start you out. It's also perfect if you want to subtly tell your sister you think her children are entitled freeloaders without saying those words, just gift her the book. Of course, if you don't think the way this author does already, you wouldn't crack the book open anyway, neither would your sister; which is why the explanations are overkill, in my opinion.
Personally I wanted a straightforward plan of action and in comparison to Accountable Kids, this book was sorely lacking in a tangible plan. Especially for the 3 yr old of the family in the book who had everything done for him. 3 years is the perfect age to begin teaching accountability as a habit but he just becomes another chore opportunity for the older Wyma kids. Which is cool, go Wyma family, you do you! If you are looking for ways to start out your toddlers with small daily steps to accountability, this book won't help.
Does anyone want my copy?
