tantrums, because I told her it was time to clean up. She threw herself on the ground, screamed, raged, and cried. She finally picked up 1 thing by her art station, but when I went to go find out what she was doing, she had written this note:

Here is how we handle that sort of stuff in our house. Tell her she can clean up or you will, if you do it you will take a trash bag in there and everything will go into the trash or get donated. Give her x amount of time, then do it. When she cries how unfair or man you are or follows thru on her threat to throw a bigger tantrum. Tell her that it is obvious she has too many things and the stress of keeping them picked up is causing her to meltdown, tell her you are doing her a favor. Then if you want give her a chance to earn the stuff back one item at a time, over several weeks. I guarantee her tantrums will stop

I want my money back, then! LOL! Yeah, that's our tactic. It hasn't worked yet. She says "Fine, I dont care, throw it away!" So a lot of her toys have already been donated. And she doesnt give two shits.
