Unavoidably Engaged

I did the unthinkable today. Or rather the unimaginable- but it's over now. Yes, I broke down and cleaned my daughters' bathroom. Did I want to? Of course not. It hasn't been cleaned for months. Instead of doing the work,they end up bickering over whose turn it is to clean it next. But I couldn't enter the room without feeling like I was on the set of some bad "B" movie. Hours later, with the room measurably improved- I was able to tear myself away. I wish I could manage them better as I resent their indifference to their squalor. Months in to the mess, I couldn't take it a minute longer. Does that ever happen to you?
