And what's wrong with making them clean up after themselves? When my grands would spend the weekend with their dads, they couldn't leave until they picked up their things. I made it a game with my boys and they did the same. then it went into a closet. Their beds had to be straightened up also. You keep it up. It's good for them whether they do it at home or not.
