English term or phrase: let alone clean up after them
Qual a melhor forma de colocar esta frase em português? Queiram desculpar, mas deu-me mesmo uma branca!

O contexto:

"They’re disorganized and easily distracted, keeping other family members waiting.
Or they start projects and forget to finish them—let alone clean up after them."

Crianças com transtorno do déficit de atenção com hiperatividade.

Muito obrigada!
