You're not wrong - give them both barrels! It'll get worse with the g-kids! I've put three canvas bags in my laundry room (at the side door that we use most). When I find a bib or sock or something left behind, it goes in that family's bag. That's worked pretty good for us.
I've started a new procedure and they all think I've lost my mind. When I hear them mention that they need to go, I direct the g-kids to get all they toys and stuff picked up. The youngest daughter is the worst one. She lets her 4yo son do anything he wants. He'd rather play with my trinkets than a toy, so Hubby and I are constantly making him go put something back.
Hang tough and they'll come around.
