*EXTREME* KIDS ROOM DECLUTTER. EXTREMELY DISGUSTING ROOM! DECLUTTER AND ORGANIZE WITH ME 2022

[@mimiNana-yi4cy]

Impressive. A few observations. The stuffy nose could, very well, be from all the stuffed animals on her bed. They do collect dust. It may be time to limit how many she has on her bed. Have her pick a few, put the rest, neatly, in her closet, and then she can rotate them out when she wants to change them up. It looks like she is a "collector" (One of my daughter's was a collector at that age). It is not a bad thing to put a limit on it. We had to implement a rule, something comes in, something goes out, otherwise it ends up a hot mess of way too much stuff. Also, love the fact she is creative but have her do her creative stuff at the counter, not in her room. That way it is easier for her to do some cleanup and not just push it all under the furniture. Start slow but stay consistent, and set firm limits on her collecting. Great job on the clean up. It looks wonderful.

[@angeliquemosley5072]

Thanks for this comment, my boys have stuffed characters from their favorite cartoons on their beds. I'm going to do what you suggested here with them.

[@Sienna10Sunz]

Work on those "Atomic Habits" for her as well :)

[@Gouthami_k]

True, my 7 year old have a habit of sleeping with a load of stuffed toys and used to sneeze all the time, she also got dust allergy coz of that. My sister is a Doctor and when she saw this she asked me to at least limit the stuffed animals at night . My daughter got so much better now, she doesn't get dust allergy that frequently anymore!! Btw, we live in a tropical climate so we use cotton blankets which is plus

[@katinkavanoursouw9]

Not only the stuffed animals, also the blankets, clothes and especially the carpet collect a lot of dust!

Thank you for your transparency!!! Now I can exhale bc I know I'm not alone. I use to think I'd gone wrong somewhere with my 3 little people. They just seem to enjoy being able to see all their belongings in the floor all at the same time....and I do mean EVERYTHING they own! Lol

Haha I feel your pain!! 😆😅

[@The_clean_mama]

It’s so interesting to see how many mama’s actually struggle with keeping a clean house. I really don’t get it, it’s not that hard. This has truly taught me that I need to start a KZbin channel for tips and tricks of keeping a clean house with kids. I have a few short videos that I created lately but this is something that I really need to do. How old is your daughter?

[@bethanyhaynes1123]

Same. Especially with kids older and capable to clean and tidy. Habits start from a young age.

[@sheilabundren2037]

You are a good momma. That was a big job. When you opened the closet my heart sunk for you. It obviously doesn't bother her. It all looks amazing now. Go get some rest after that!! Thanks for sharing your motivation.

[@darniataylor7749]

Oh boyee do I remember those days. I started having my kids stay in the room while I cleaned/organized (why should they get to have fun while I cleaned? LoL) and eventually, they figured out that the less mess that there was the less time they had to spend "not having fun" as they put it. By the time they were 7 and 8, all I had to do was a weekly tidy.😉

[@ashleyforbes]

That is a brilliant idea!! I am definitely doing that the next time I have to clean it off camera 😅 I bet that would be motivation to keep it clean!! Haha

[@mamajessiej]

I love this idea!!

[@loisleckie8329]

Same, I declutter their rooms all the time, and I got tired of hearing where's this, where's that!!!! So I make my 9 year old son declutter with me atleast twice a year, and honestly he declutters better than me!!! He's figured out less mess, less cleaning!!! Lol 😂

[@wendyinegbenedo1307]

Another tip for stuffed animals, vacuum them once a month, put in the dryer on low for 10 min to kill dust mites, then use your spray to disinfect or freshen. It will help with asthma and allergies.❤

[@sarahsmith5045]

Or bin them.. clutter and something else to clean.. baseboards behind bed and around bedroom need cleaned.

[@brigittegreenwood2970]

That's funny I used to go thru my girls stuff and declutter as well, but their floor had to be clean. Their room was downstairs towards the front of the house, and I didn't just close the door. But they learned at an early age you play with it, you pick it up, you throw it around it goes in the trash.

[@jos-1994]

Wow Ashley. That room alone gave you a workout 💪🏼What an amazing difference. I'm exhausted just watching but as always you've given so much motivation 👍🏼

[@marcyk3271]

Your video is very motivating. No food in bedrooms is one thing I forbid with my kids. Another thing, I go into my kids rooms daily to clean up junk therefore I don’t have a huge cleanup. With 3 kids I must be on top of cleaning. It works

[@RecaRose]

Its great to see you doing this for your child, and not only that, but showing her what you're doing for her. As a child, I was exactly the same, possibly even worse, and my mother simply cleaned while i was out of the house, and never gave me the tools nor motivation to help me clean on my own once i became a teenager. It took a frankly ridiculous amount to teach myself good ways to clean and declutter, and a lot of time and energy on top of battling my rather poor mental health. So thank you for the simple act of showing your daughter how to clean, rather than just shutting her out and doing it completely by yourself. You have no idea how much it means in a child's development, even as something so minor. ❤

[@brendahowell5946]

Thanks so much. So much motivation. We do scheduled snacks if you don't they do eat out of boredom. But you know their are days they could eat an elphant lol. If my kids put (hide) anything under bed or closet. The more I pick up more electronic time they loose.

[@carolkoehn6225]

I never had this problem with our 5 sons but our niece oh my word yep did the same thing as u did & so glad to have you along side me. Thank you so very much for all the motivating videos.

[@bridgetwallace9892]

Haha my son Eastons room! I call it the black hole where everything goes but never comes out. He is like Adrian. But once it's cleaned it's so nice and I get back so much I thought was lost. I loved your motivational message. It truly resonated with me, it's so very true! Learning to prioritize yourself and needs is something we all fail to do at times. But, if we're not living our best lives neither is our family. When we're at our best, so are they. You and I are so similar in so many things/ways. Again, I don't comment much but every time I watch your videos I laugh and think that's just like me lol. It's nice to relate. Thank you ❤️ .

My 8yo son struggles to keep his room tidy. It looks like a tornado hit it quite literally and every time we get it clean, it's back to trashed super fast. It's so hard to maintain. We limited toys and he did the same thing with his clothes etc. Thanks for showing a REAL kids room

[@brookephelps2162]

This is probably my first KZbin comment tbh, but I absolutely CANNOT believe all the nasty comments you’re receiving. Wow. Everybody is an expert! You seem like a loving mother giving your all! Your kids appear to have wonderful bedrooms full of clean clothing, a warm bed, things surrounding them that bring them joy and comfort. Why all the criticism?! How about some gratitude for your willingness to be authentic about your content ? I certainly appreciate it! I never comment on KZbin videos, but for yours I had to! Why on earth are you receiving so much negativity?

[@TheOfficialKayy]

I’m not saying I necessarily agree with the comments left, however the reason is due to the state of the room. It’s not messy, it’s dirty. There’s a big difference. I think a lot of commenters forget that people live differently and leaving a comment won’t change that. HOWEVER, some people *may* think this is normal when posting and receiving comments stating otherwise may open their eyes to change something. I didn’t listen to the talking, I watch these on silent. I had a best friend growing up and her room looked like this all the time. She now has a filthy house 24/7. I get where people are coming from as this isn’t a habit you want to create for your children. Also, if you put something on the internet and allow comments, you’re going to get negative ones. either way, the interaction in the comments (positive or negative) actually help her channel so I doubt she minds. I personally wouldn’t ever have a house with this mess but I truly enjoy watching people clean their disasters.

[@ashleyroberts48]

It took me a good part of the day to clean out my youngest daughter's room in the new year. After I organized everything she went through and got rid of a bunch of toys. She is only seven so I was happy. We built some shelves in her room and most of her stuff is now in her room. I was very surprised at what cleaning did to help motivate her and I love videos like this because it helps motivate me to take the first steps.

[@saf281-o8x]

Ashley you're the Best Mama!!! But I just could't deal with her room like that all of the time. She loves to cook with you and go to the gym and love on her siblings, but she needs your help to teach her how to stay more organized, When I was young, I shared my bedroom with my older sister. She told my mom that she didn't want to share the room anymore because I made a mess. (she just did't want her little sister in there) So my mom moved me to another room and my sister's room only became worse. 😰She is 69 and is still lazy and messy etc. I have always been the organized clean sister. I watch your videos faithfully but I don't comment much at all, just watch and like! But this just hits me hard. Maybe because I'm old school and we had to appreciate what 5 of us children had and shared with our Loving single Mom. Just speaking from my heart.. Love you Ashley and your beautiful family 🥰

[@saf281-o8x]

Ok so I will keep my comments to myself!

[@ashleyforbes]

Awe thank you! ♥️ But like you mentioned your sister was in the same house hold and taught the things you were taught… and yet still lazy. It just goes to show that some things are just personal habits and traits. Not everyone likes to be organized & clean. To each their own! I mean of course I love my stuff clean & tidy but I’ve met many woman who don’t care & their houses are a disaster but they are amazing in other areas in life. Just because they lack in one area does not make them any less. We should just appreciate each other for what we are 😊

I wonder if your daughter is seeking out pressure (so many blankets). Have you considered letting her try a weighted blanket? For some kids, it can be calming and improve sleep. Just a thought from one mama to another mama.

[@ashleyforbes]

She actually does have a weighted blanket but doesn’t use it too much anymore. I’m not sure why she loves the stuffed animals so much, maybe because she doesn’t feel like she’s sleeping alone 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@debbiebliss1523]

Hi Ashley, my now 42 years old son used to be just like your daughter when he was 8 or 9 only worse! Problems with Hygiene, school work and very creative too. I tried everything! Nothing worked till I discovered the “NOTHING”. That finally did the trick. It's a group job and it's not easy but he's better for it. “NOTHING” is: just what it says, nothing. I had to work things out with his teachers first. He got no recess, no lunchtime, and no field trips till all his school work was completely caught up. I got a weekly report from his teachers on this, plus desk/locker inspection weekly. At home, I emptied his room. No toys, books, crafts, TV, games, dressers, bins, or boxes of anything in his room just his bed which he had to make every day. Showers tooth brushing, hair brushing, and clean clothes every day. He was smell tested daily. (he had no friends at school because he stunk. I thought he would grow out of it but he only got worse). He had to stay in his room doing nothing but homework. He got no TV time, no game time, and no family outings till he completed and got all his school work caught up, kept his room, and self-clean for 2 weeks in a row. When we started the “NOTHING” I ask him what did he think I should do about all of his behavior problems and he said “NOTHING”. He thought everything was just fine. I told him you want nothing he said yes. I said be careful what you ask for and it took me a while but once nothing was ready it didn't take him long to move his butt and change everything. In 2 weeks he had everything done daily and when he would slip I would tell him that nothing can come back and he would jump into gear again. I know you think this is cruel and a lot of work but it sure showed him responsibility and respect for himself and others. I made him do the work not me. After this, He made friends, got good grades, and grew to be a good loving son and man with a great job and a clean apartment I'm happy to go to. Plus he went to college and got the highest honors through 2 degrees. So it was worth it and he tells me that often. Your husband is a military man he understands what duty, respect, and doing things the right way means. You need to be a united front and example of what you expect from your children that's how they learn to be the same in adulthood. It worked in my house is all I'm saying. My oldest saw this and changed too. He's served 21 years in the AF and they tell me I was the best mom ever. In fact, their friends say the same thing.

[@annparsons2112]

What a great example of what can be accomplished with DISCIPLINE AND RULES! This must be done with this child or her life as she grows up with be complete chaos at home and at school.

Love your words of wisdom in this video. Completely agree with “you have to take action”. I write down goals every single day and I wake up at 4:15 every morning to work out. If I don’t do it in the morning I find too many excuses not to do it. You are such a super mama! I have started having Azelynn help me with the declutter. It honestly is easier if I just do it but I figure she made the mess and can help clean it. Such great motivation as usual!

Just came across your videos today. And wow, thank you! I always feel like I’m failing at keep a clean home and my daughters room is just another story, I can’t believe how similar our daughters rooms are to each others. The blankets, the stuffed animals, the paper and fidgets, the bits and bobs that end up under the furniture, and trash. She’s 11 now and getting into older girl things now, so I think it’s time to go in and declutter that room once again. This video is inspiring and is reassuring in so many ways. I appreciate you taking us along on your cleaning journey ! I watched the more recent video of your daughter room, then came to see this one:)

[@JupiterMoon19]

My daughter had a stuffy nose sore throat kinda thing going on for awhile when she was younger. Her dr asked if she had a lot of stuffed animals in her bedroom. Well of course! She did she Sid! 😂 Her dr recommended running through dryer several times a year because they collect dust etc. and the less soft fabrics in her room the better. So we took the carpet out and all the extra stuff out (running stuffed animals through dryer every time I changed her bedding) and overnight she was better. AMAZING! Just wanted to share. ❤️

[@wendystahlke]

Hi Ashley love decluttering my home I like things in their place,No food upstairs or drinks only water we have carpet in the bedrooms so it’s hard to keep clean we don’t need food tramped in the carpets. We have set times for snacks too usually in the afternoon after school it’s easy for kids to snack out of boredom.One thing about kids they always bring their toys downstairs it’s ok if there going to play with them then they don’t want to take them back upstairs after they’re done out of pure laziness that drives me nuts lol 😂 I don’t like clutter it stresses me out so I like things tidy.I will say though weekends go too fast I wish it would slow down I like to go do things but it goes way too fast.Have a great week 😀

Absolutely agree. I was looking for this comment and hoping it was mentioned. Even at birth we know our bodies and how much we need and when to eat.

Sooo glad I’m not the only one with extremely messy kid rooms 😂 So motivatingg!

[@creceyvarney6767]

I told my husband that your daughter’s room was the first kid’s room that I’ve ever been able to relate to on KZbin. The drawer situation, craft scraps, and unexpected items are the same scenarios that I deal with. 😂

[@ashleyforbes]

Yay!! && that makes me so happy to hear I’m not alone too!! I’ve gotten a lot of hate on the state of her room 😅

[@creceyvarney6767]

@@ashleyforbes You are definitely not alone! And I’m sorry for all the hate. If I don’t like something in a video, I keep scrolling, or I don’t watch again. All those ‘keyboard warriors’ are trying to solve the world’s problems with just one click. Mercy.

this is like my daughters room! and she's 11! she has asthma so we had to limit stuffy toys. the hanging stuffy basket is great but probably not over her bed. dust falls right into her nose when she's sleeping

[@helenbekind8486]

Yes! It takes so much effort to keep the living areas cleaned/0picked up (kitchen, countertops, living room, bathrooms) I never get to the bedrooms. I will do a quick pick up at night time when I tuck them in, but the clutter and random objects require a full “dig-in” kind of cleaning that I just don’t have the focus for. I can relate to this so much! Sorry for the rude comments. I am so grateful for you exposing a vulnerable area in your home that many of struggle with and relate to.

Great job Ashley, love your cleaning motivations! Have a wonderful week! ☺️💖

What is that powder you sprinkle on the carpet at the end of the video?

[@ashleyforbes]

It’s just baking soda with essential oil drops in it. I make it home made ♥️

[@anyutka19]

@@ashleyforbes very cool. Is that for deodorizing the carpet? Do you vacuum it up right after or let it settle for a bit?

[@apme12]

Where did you get curtains with the lights?

[@karencabrera1081]

My grandbaby is Eight and she is very organized! Keeps all her stuff in caddy's..

[@sherylmaloneyplatt9332]

That is my 12 boys room! We just started summer vacation. It is our plan to help him get better organized and cleaned to help him thrive.

[@ashleyforbes]

Good luck!! 💕

[@chelsearenee8642]

Great job mama! Those sheets from grove are meant for the washer that might be why they aren’t dissolving in the dryer cycle? ❤️ I love them also I’m currently using them!

[@cbowick1000]

I love this video🧡

[@Bigback.4.life2]

This video gives me the most motivation I watch it so much 🖤

[@Delight791]

Hi I am a kid but I like watching your videos❤❤❤❤❤

[@theguzmanfamily5299]

Omg your daughter room reminds me of my sister room when we were little lol my sister use to throw her trash in the closet under the carpet and under the bed it was ridiculous 😅

[@SimplySarah95]

My daughter is the same way with the stuffed animals! She has about 30 on her bed and barley has room for herself to sleep 😂 nice to see other kids are just as attached to their stuffed toys lol

[@yennifernarvaez6666]

Buen video de motivación eres genial amiga ... Deberías remodelar esa habitación de tu nena como un regalo ❤️❤️😍♥️

[@angiegibson3092]

Ashley what is your favorite Febreze fabric spray

[@ellenwarner1156]

Great video! Favorite part was you crawling under the bed!😂

[@ashleyforbes]

😆😆😅 I am so claustrophobic too! I hate doing that haha

[@InhaleSkyExhaleStars]

most satisfying cleanup vid i have ever seen!!

[@ashleyforbes]

Thank you!

[@marcyk3271]

Just a suggestion…I don’t have much furniture in bedrooms but use the closets so there are less junk drawers and less places for things to hide
