Trash talk
Dear Husbands,
The small, decorative trashcans that you find in the bedroom and bathroom are for the following:
a tissue
the tag from new clothes
feminine products (bathroom)
q-tips (bathroom)
they are not for:
the Sunday newspaper
banana peels or apple cores or any food
dirty diapers
Really, these receptacles are more of a symbol, a TEMPORARY place for a small amount of trash. We do not line these things with black industrial-sized bags for a reason. Oh, and if you see the trash can has trash in it, take FIVE MINUTES and empty the can!
Please take note, and act accordingly.
Respectfully,
your wives

Yes - to kids, too. Any trash from a food item belongs in the KITCHEN trash. This is not a difficult concept, no?
Can you train a four year old to take out the trash? I may try . . . he already changes the toilet paper, which I consider to be one of the very best achievements of my lifetime.
I have eliminated the trash can in the boys' bathroom for this very reason.
They have to walk it all the way downstairs. When they're adults, they can buy all the trash cans they want and never empty them and reflect on how neurotic (yet clean) their mother was.
Amen.
If I can get 80% in the can that is where it goes.
