When you took your kids to visit other people, did you always make a point of having your kids clean up after themselves before you left, or did you feel it was their job, as a host, to do it?

I did. And when my friends brought their kids over, they did the same thing.
“Let’s clean up! We’re getting ready to leave!” And then do a walk through to find something they missed.

Have you ever known someone who doesn’t, and when they leave you have to put toys away, and throw away food scraps, and water and juice and pop cans, (some of it sweating on the nice wood of tables,) and with crayons and markers and pieces of paper laying everywhere?

If people are coming to visit, and you know they will do that, is it out of line for you, the host, to initiate clean up before they go?
