Teens keeping their room clean

MrsTinks

I'd strip the old bedsheets off and leave the clean ones on her bed for her If she wants to sleep she can put the clean ones on hehehe
My mum btw NEVER cleaned my room for me and I was pretty messy at times. I'm not super tidy now but if anyone is coming round I will blitz the house Then again there is a difference between dirty and untidy in my view

Part of being a parent is training your children to take responsiblity for themselves. This is a difficult enough thing to do but you have to stick to your guns on it. If you do everything for her, she'll never learn to do it for herself. As for your mum, none of her business. And I would pretty much tell her as much. Your house your rules

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Your mother!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Mine is the same! Its my fault that my DD has a messy room, I should clean it up for her etc.

Mind you, she also thinks I am a bad parent because I do not iron bed sheets nor their pants!! And so on......


I smile nicely through gritted teeth and let her get on with it. Cos she was the best parent in the world... :rolleyes: (Which is irony, cos she was nasty)

Everyone needs their own bit of space - let your daughter have hers. There's nothing immoral about a bit of mess.

My mum once threatened me with getting rid of all my stuff if I didn't tidy my room, and I didn't belive her, got home from school one day to find all that was in my bedroom was the furniture, school stuff and library books!!!!! (the rest was in binbags in the shed, but I didn't know for a couple of hours) Only worked for a week or 2 though before it went back to a dump. My sister was even worse than me, she had a path way from the door to her bed through the junk!

The only thing that cured us...moving out and realising how hard managing a house is when it's sooooo untidy

We must have the same mother. Mine once commented that our bedsheets were creased! She also thinks we are "cheap" for buying DD clothes from Adsa. She is always going on about how tight and lazy I am!

You have not met my mother :rotfl: You would think a messy house puts you on equal footing as someone running a brothel!

................ it is embarrasing when people visit and make remarks.

That sentence is more shocking than any other part of your post.

People should not be in your daughter's room unless invited by her.

Unless there are obvious health issues like mould growing on food remains etc, then leave well alone.

Your Mother has more issues than your daughter does.

Teenagers ! . I spent a whole day getting his room straight only for him to start messing it up again. Iv put all his clean washing in a basket and asked him to put it away, it ended up with his dirty clothes because he could not be bothered to put them away.
My advice, shut the door and tell your vistors to mind their own buisness.

When she visits she goes in every room, even if the doors are closed. then weeks of snidey comments about the state of the place. It can be very draining.
