A Family That Cleans Together?

Friday May 19, 2006
Okay, so you say to your family, "This Saturday, we're going to clean up the house." They complain and moan a little, but mostly they don't take you seriously. They know that this Saturday may be a cleanup day for you, but they are already formulating excuses about why they can't be there. They may even come up with pressing homework to do (A sure sign of desperation). How do you get them motivated? Does anyone ever have a successful family cleanup day? How do you get the day set up and organized? Can a day spent together cleaning the garage be fun?
