As per ebay rules, you are bidding on an empty box, and everything inside is my gift to you! (I have a feeling that It's gonna be a BIG gift!)
I am so tired of my family not taking care of all of their things! I buy them nice things and they don't put them away! I have warned them. This auction is to teach them a lesson!! It is a seven day auction! I am starting it out with a box of girls p.j.s and clothing (sizes 4-6x) that the little one has outgrown, I will then throw in some surprises that will make it worth your while~~ here is the biggie~ ANYTHING that they leave laying in the floor, or on the counter (regardless of its value) will be given to you in this auction!! They need to learn to take care of their things and I am at my ropes end on how else to teach them! I have a sixteen year old son , an eight year old daughter and oh yes, a wonderful husband that needs to learn a thing or two himself! It is highly likely you will end up with things like playstation games, bratz dolls, barbies, hello kitty, cd's , DVD's, baseball cards, NAME BRAND CLOTHING ~based on the things I seem to pick up over and over again! Anything they don't take care of this week, becomes YOURS! I have a feeling that this will be a big box and my loss will become your gain, but I AM SICK OF PICKING THE SAME STUFF UP, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!
PLEASE HELP ME TEACH THEM A LESSON THAT THEY WILL NEVER FORGET!
I plan to take any money that this auction brings and spend it on some ME(mommy) time. I cannot remember the last time , I bought myself NaME brand clothes or went to a day spa(haha who am I kiddin? ,I never have), but I plan to reward myself! They don't believe me but they will not get any of the money. The more I make on the auction. The more I will treat myself! As I write this, they are laughing at me! I am more determined than ever to prove this point! I will list each day the things they have left out and that will now be added to the MYSTERY Box, as a result of their blatant disregard! If you have kids, I know you know where I am coming from. They are good kids, with NO appreciation for all they are given! I want them to realize how lucky they are and to take care of their things!
Hopefully, by the end of this week, they will appreciate what they have and take better care of it. Keep checking for updates on newly added items!

She also left out HELLO KITTY Fashion Tiles. A cute little game where she mixed and matched tiles to make new outfits for Hello Kitty and colored over them . She also left her favorite HOT PINK hiking boots laying in the bathroom, so in they go They are the kind that LIGHT UP, HOt pink leather with turquoise flowers and butterflies on the side that light when she walks.

My big boy had his first MOM's MYSTERY BOX encounter~ he's been a bit luckier so far. He lost one of his fav shirts , a bright orange long sleeve t-shirt with navy blue trim by SONOMA (Kohl's) It says SK8 on the front. It is an XL (16-18) teens .He left it wadded up in the floor and after being warned~ it was still there a bit later~ so mom will freshly launder and add it to YOUR BOX! He also lost a baseball BUNGEE Ball ( kind of a yo yo on a rubber band), that he would not quit annoying his sis with! Also he left a really nice velcro closure CD case layin around that now goes to the highest bidder!!
This is the first evening of this for them~ so of course they are gonna learn as we go along that if they want to keep it~ they d best be putting it away where it belongs!

AFAIC, she's perfectly within her rights. Her husband and kids take her for granted and don't take care of their things and she busts her ass for them. They do need a lesson, and it sounds like they have way too much anyway.
I consider this to be a minor form of evil, myself. Among the things listed are her eight year old daughter's karaoke machine, a Christmas present from this year, location not given, and her daughter's favorite boots, confiscated for being left in the bathroom. That's not "teaching your children a lesson about being neat", that's malice and cruelty.
I did the "If you leave it on the floor past when it's supposed to be picked up, it gets put away for a while out of your reach" thing with my virtual nephew. (I was a full-time auntie for about four years.)
And by the end there in her tale, the kids were contributing items on their own, she got caught with something out of place and put it in too for fair play, and she saved an absolute favorite doll out and just hid it away -- I'd say that even if it started out as a temper tantrum, it's an excellent lesson on follow-through for all of them, including and especially her.
i would bid on it, but its gotten too high. anyway, neat concept! creative way to make your kids ppickup their stuff~! instead of yelling at them or eve going on strike! lol... thanks for the link! i will gank it and credit you for it....
I had good success with grounding my virtual nephew from everything I had to pick up off the floor. If I had to pick it up, it went up on the top shelf for a week.
We'd also do a toybox triage, where he'd sort things out into "keep", "maybe", and "go" piles.

AFAIC, she's perfectly within her rights. Her husband and kids take her for granted and don't take care of their things and she busts her ass for them. They do need a lesson, and it sounds like they have way too much anyway.

I did the "If you leave it on the floor past when it's supposed to be picked up, it gets put away for a while out of your reach" thing with my virtual nephew. (I was a full-time auntie for about four years.)
And by the end there in her tale, the kids were contributing items on their own, she got caught with something out of place and put it in too for fair play, and she saved an absolute favorite doll out and just hid it away -- I'd say that even if it started out as a temper tantrum, it's an excellent lesson on follow-through for all of them, including and especially her.

We'd also do a toybox triage, where he'd sort things out into "keep", "maybe", and "go" piles.
