A little help people?

It's child1s job to straighten and sweep the livingroom, a job which done daily would take less than ten minutes. THIS is what I swept up from under the couch and loveseat and around the corners (it does NOT include the pile of shoes under the table behind the door. And the kids call me a nag when I ask them to do their chores. And I came home at 10:15 last night and child3 still hadn't put the dishes away (less than five minutes of work a day), so I had to leave a sink of dirty dishes, which is really disgusting. I really think it's time to start taking phones away.
