I don't want to make him stop making the toddler laugh his ass off cause it's cute af, but at the same time I need him to understand he needs to pick up his stuff when I ask.
Am I being too much of a pushover?

just tell him he can come back and play once he pick up his thing. My kids use that trick all the time. As cute as it is we as mother still have to teach them about balance and having responsibility, even as a young age. You are not harming there relationship, but everything have a time and place. Right now you need him to put his things away and his reward is going right back to his time.

Thank you. I just feel ready guilty cause he's only with me 50% of the time since school started. Excuses I know, I need to get over it though

being a mom is always hard... just remember you are raising a man and it starts now to input good habits.

I agree with above and you can also start teaching the baby to help. They can learn to play and work together.

Baby LOVES to throw things away. Maybe a little too much sometimes 😬

Perfect! Teacher big brother that when he leaves his toys out there are consequences and sometimes that is his baby brother not knowing the difference between picking up and throwing out and that if he wants his toys safe from mom and brother he must put them away as he finishes playing with them.
