Time for one of these kids to learn self-reliance and inherit this ancient fatherly practice.trash and recycling bins get picked up on Monday. for the last 15 years. always Monday.
the way my wife and (now kids) will wait until i put the bins out on the curb, then moan & groan about how they now have to walk out of the house, to the street, to throw something in the recycling or trash that has been in their room, on a table, wherever... for days sometimes.... is one of those small things that slowly drives a person insane, which other people think is petty & stupid to be cranky about.... until it happens to them. every week. for 15 years.
i could put them out at 7 AM on Sunday morning and the first thing they'd say on waking up is "why do i have to walk to the curb to throw out my trash? why didn't you just leave the bins in the garage?" or, those bins could go out as the collection truck is rounding the corner to our street on Monday morning and they'd moan that i put the bins out too soon and now they have to do.. so.. much... walking to throw something out.
i'm about to turn the trash inside out in the living room and make them walk each piece of trash to the street individually.
If they're old enough to leave their trash around then their old enough to take those cans down
What I would do is the first time they take the trash cans down to the curb, you want to have at least one empty beer can and ask them to hold the lid up when they get down there and then start shooting 3s, you've got to show these children who's in charge.
