SEVEN MASSIVE TRASH BAGS - huge DECLUTTER and CLEAN

[@terriann3031]

Lordy...a year? You have such a beautiful home, I can't imagine not caring for it better. I do get being overwhelmed though, it happens to me frequently. I just started the video, but I would Sweep it all to the middle to bag and throw it away. The kids obviously don't care about anything up there.

[@feraltradwife]

Oh hilarious. I address that exact sentiment in this video. It breaks my heart that you would do that.

[@gwenellison5386]

Instead of being critical you might instead choose to be kind when someone is vulnerable and shows their truth.

[@megkidd7326]

@@terriann3031 you obviously weren’t listening to what Beth was talking about when she talked about her kids. Maybe you should watch it again and this time hear her! 🤗

[@projectroots3546]

She already spoke to people like you in this video which you clearly did not watch all the way thru. I would say some better advice would be that you just keep your opinions to yourself when you didn't even take the time to finish the video.

[@gillymacgregor3071]

Have you even watched the whole video? I suggest that it you don’t have anything positive to say then this isn’t the channel for you.

[@melissasmith2719]

I just want to say, Thank you. Thank you from my soul. I woke up today and wanted to get stuff done, I had lofty goals. I quickly found myself sitting. Because of this video and your neuro spicy self, I was not only able to deep clean my bedroom, but my son's shared room. I mean DEEEP clean. Like your video. I was able to dust, sort things, throw away things, clean bedding, sweep, vacuum, AND mop! All because I took it one thing at a time like you did. Thank you so much for posting this video and just being yourself.

I’m so grateful to Mac from Midwest Magic Cleaning for recommending your channel! I love listening and watching you, I have autistic children, young adults now, completely agree with the heartbreak and horribleness of threatening them and with telling them their gifts. I did all the cleaning, and as they got their own places they’ve learned to clean in their own way.

[@SallyStitchesAnd]

Hi Beth! I appreciate that you talk about neurodivergence in your videos. My husband and I clean up after our autistic teen every night as part of his bedtime routine. We swap, so one helps him with food and shower/toothbrushing/pajamas while the other one tidies the family room and kitchen. Our son loves nothing better than “sprinkling” - taking things like cracker crumbs or bits of leaves (it’s crunchy leaf season) or kinetic sand and just dropping it on the floor over and over. Basically, there can be particles everywhere…but that’s ok! We try limit sensory play to the family room, we hired a pest control company to prevent ants, and we vacuum it up every night. Manageable! Sprinkling is an easy clean up. It’s way better than managing a meltdown or trying to avoid maladaptive behaviors - like pulling a bald spot in his hair or other self-harm. Autism is a fascinating thing to live with, but our guide stone is keeping him happy and healthy, and it seems like yours is, too. Thank you for sharing. You’re doing a great job informing but respecting their privacy, too!

[@feraltradwife]

That is so true. Sprinkling is an easy swap, way better than harm. I wish I was able to tidy every night and I feel like a year from now I will be someone who tidies like that!

[@kathyosullivan1038]

I’ve been watching through my tv KZbin for a while…. And could never figure out how to comment. I’m home sick today- which I never do- even terribly ill- I will make myself work from home. But- today, I’m allowing myself to binge watch your channel and just vegetate. As a former SPED teacher and current school psychologist, I have to tell you how magnificently HEALTHY you are! Seriously- I have ADHD and so do my hubby and daughter. Both of my boys have CLEAR spectrum tendencies. SO I GET YOU. Your ability to just be transparent and REAL with the viewers is undoubtedly providing so much anxiety relief for so many. A side effect is the gift of self-love. So many are so down on themselves- and you are modeling just how to live life and be happy RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. Your children are blessed to have you as their mama. ❤ Keep doing what you do.

Like I’ve told you in the past, my oldest child, whom will be 40 in February, is autistic. When he was little, it wasn’t in my line of sight that he would be able to live by himself someday.

[@Shashusan25]

I just have to say, is so refreshing to see a mom who really cares about knowing their autistic children’s preferences and how to treat them like humans- not treating them as if they were neurotypical - but accepting them for how they operate and loving them the whole way. My biological mother was trying her best as a single mom with 4 kids including one autistic son and he often was just not involved because he would meltdown if something didn’t go right. We all ended up being split up into different homes to deal with our own traumas and such and it was hard as an older sister to watch my baby siblings grow up from afar but now it is a great testimony because he is absolutely thriving, creating KZbin videos, planning to live independently, and so much more. You have restored my faith in humanity today ❤

[@Shashusan25]

I am not shy about sharing these emotions, it’s a part of my testimony and it gives glory to God who is the one who turned it all around for us individually on our healing journey. Love this channel a lot ❤

I totally understand the frustration with people judging the autism. My youngest niece that I babysit for is nonverbal ASD Level autistic and I call her my little wreck it Ralph. I clean up after her and would do it until the day I’m no longer here. She will be 7 in December and is still not totally potty trained either and I just really can’t stand that people are so quick to judge! I’ve had epilepsy since I was 10 and I’m 44 and not all disabilities are visible and even if they were, people still shouldn’t judge! I always love seeing your girls when they pop in! Stay bubbly! 💜🙏🏻

[@feraltradwife]

Yes! The invisible element is absolute crap. I also get a lot of comments about how my girls “look” big enough or “look” old enough to do all these tasks. The potty training is so hard but I’m hoping she can get there! Some never do but if she’s partially I have hope we can get to fully! I love that you babysit her. It’s so hard to find people willing to do it. You are a blessing my love

[@brittanyyork6602]

@ She’s my best little buddy! Saved me from a bad place in my life and she was just 2. Her Mom (my baby sister) is my best friend and the two of us are her favorite people and her safe place!

I am so sorry that you suffer in these ways. I understand - when I was able to do housework, I jumped from area to area. I'm a list maker, so I upped my game and listed every little task, room by room. I also added phone calls to make with phone numbers and notes of the purposes. I've worsened physically, mentally, and emotionally and have an aide to clean, cook, and do laundry, but there are still things I must do myself. I still make lists and slowly work on them, but it may be only a phone call that day or week. I admire you for sharing your life and helping others.

And my kids are GOOD people too and I’m so proud of them. They’re 36 and 40 now, so they’ve stood the test of time. I’ve seen those comments, and I just want to shut them down. But they were probably raised hard like that so they don’t know any different way. It’s sad to me. And I agree, if you can’t trust your MOM, who can you trust? You may not be a perfect housekeeper although I see you making huge strides every video, but the important things, you’re already good at.

Like king Artur in the Holy Grail with my coconuts . At the end of the day, I crash in my recliner in the still messy living room where I found the hammer.

My autistic friend was once as a teenager absolutely heartbroken. She told me that her mother believed she was doing drugs! I could not comprehend how her mother could think that, cause honestly we were very square as teens. One qeekend, I stayed over, and it was dinner time. Her mom at the table giggled, and said to my friend "haha, you got that stoner look again that you've got recently". That's when I got it. Her mom wasn't actually thinking she was smoking weed. It was just that that's how she commented upon my friend's absent minded facial expression. She didn't think anything of it, because, it was just allegorical, and of course, the giggle alone would reveal to a neurotypical teen that she didn't mean it literally. That moment explained so much about so many things my friend told me about her parents

[@feraltradwife]

Oh that is so sad! I am often concerned my sarcasm hits the twins wrong so I like to check in and let them know I’m joking. Sammie was actually watching me edit the part where I’m saying I don’t love Calvin and she looked worried and I whispered it was a big joke and then she had a huge smile ❤️

I did resets on my sons rooms. I knew they COULDN'T do it. In a way, I'm glad i have ADHD. That way, I understood them completely. When I was little my mom was going to be out of the house for the day. She said, "If you love me, your room will be clean when I get home. I was around 9 years old. The room was overwhelming. It was my sister and I's room. I tried so hard. But my ADHD brain was in full force. I would find things and stop and play, I needed to use the toilet. Since I was using the toilet... I should get a drink. Oh, it would be a great idea to get something to put some water in, and take to my room. Back in an overwhelming room... let's clean this one stupid spot that is not going to show that I did anything. Ya, so she gets home, goes straight to our room, and says I don't love her. So long story... I love understanding my kids. I taught them fast ways to clean up big stuff so it looks like you're making headway. They learned to do laundry, make a bed, clean a bathroom, and mop a floor. But I will keep my ADHD. and my kids, granddaughter, and I will all get each other and be there to understand and help each other. Your ADHD friend from Wyoming.

My daughter is autistic too. She also needs to know everything in advance. Days out. People visiting. Presents. Holidays. You can’t do surprises. When she was little it was hard, but she’s an adult now and it’s easier. 😊

Absolutely amazing! What a transformation and you should be very proud…

[@feraltradwife]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@duanagayle]

you did such a wonderful clean up on that very exceptionally messy room, Beth. and all in one day!! i understand how you feel about all or nothing, as i am that way. my house only gets totally clean when expecting someone to come over and luckily (or not?) no one ever comes over here!! lol i told myself the other day, that maybe a rule of working in each room every time i have to go thru it, for only 3-5 mins would be a nice habit to start. i only am in my family room, bedroom or bathroom and occasionally in kitchen in any day. so, we all go potty at least a few times a day, so when i do, i should spend even 2 mins picking up. clear counter, whatever. and, as i have to walk thru my bedroom to get there, so spend a few mins there too. we've seen on your 10 min videos how much can really get done in that short amount of time, so will be interesting. obviously, will still need longer on some days if some things need more cleaning. and if someone like you, with family and pets, is doing it, may have to spend 10 mins here and there, as well. what do you think? is that something that would work for you?

[@feraltradwife]

@@duanagayle I ADORE that plan. It makes so much sense and is so easy! I hope I can implement something like that

He found “ swiftly” heads that held his mom’s wigs. I laughed out loud!!! He said hey, wanna send these to Beth? 😂😂😂 I said ummm better not 😂😂 I hope you guys have a great week !

My adhd grandsons room is an organized mess. What looks like chaos to someone else makes perfect sense to him. He knows where everything is and doesn’t want it messed with. He has trouble concentrating when reading so he spins around in his desk chair and listens to music while he’s reading. He gets straight A’s so it works.

[@feraltradwife]

Right?! It doesn’t have to make sense to us as long as it works for them

Oh, gifts! My youngest figured out a way to stop the anxiety around gifts. . . he just asked for cash. No present, just cash. He was about 7 when this started and finally at 14 he let his brothers buy him a gift from his short list of wished for items. :)

@@feraltradwife I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to say. Happy Veterans Day. Seems like a strange thing to say. My Dad was Army. My brother was a Marine and every year I say it to him. Like.
