I wish I was one of those "I trained my children from the beginning" women

Went looking for a laundry basket for the kids' bathroom today. Found one with a lid and actually thought 'a lid will complicate things'. A lid. An attached lid. I bought it but decided to have a family discussion about the whole lid issue and how they shouldn't be discouraged by the closure. Step 1: lift lid, Step 2: drop clothes in bin, Step 3: jump back. I think it went well although I'm pretty sure I lost two of them at 'I would like to talk to you'.
