SLOBS....!

Where do I begin...those of you who have children, is it a constant fight to have your children keep their room in semi clean condition?
My 14 year old daughter has identified herself as a registered Slob. She thinks because she's book smart that neatness and cleanliness (her penmanship is even worse) are something that is not important in daily teenage life. What is the deal, I mean she has a very nice view of the lake, her own bathroom, computer, etc etc and you can't keep it somewhat clean. She has created her own carpet of books, clothes, trash and dust-balls the size of tumbleweeds.
The last thing I want to do on my day off is to spend the morning putting back her space back together again. Yeah I know I'm ranting, I need a smoke and a haircut and I'll feel much better. Wait till she gets home, these children today have way too much. :twisted: my fault.
Anyway do any of you have or had roommates, children, wives, ex-wives, gf's, bf's with this problem? Yes, I'm feeling much better now.
Peace

Yeah, that's pretty much how it went. You didn't really have a choice about workin' in the acid mine.

That's a none issue, she really does dislike the Sox. She loves Jeter and A-Nod and enjoys rooting for them and against the Sox. In her heart of hearts though she's an O's fan (like me she roots for the team/state she was born in) but they so far don't have many handsome jocks like those two. :(

you made my day
and on a serious note
go easy on the kid ..as long as she isn't doing drugs or crazy shit like that
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Yep that's pretty much how my mother handled it and I've been there with that too but now it's in one ear and out the other or off one hand and the other. She has her own leather couch, tropical fishes so on, the only thing she doesn't have is her own tv. We already have 11 in the frigging house along with 5 computers...all 4 children are just spoiled brats.
Just this morning my step son wore jeans he wasn't supposed to and was kicked out of class. He wanted me to drive back 12 miles to school after I drove them there to give him jeans he was supposed to wear. I said hell no, my other half took them to him and this is the second time he wasn't wearing proper uniform. :evil:
They ALL need a whipping and I need a smoke.

We had this problem for years. One of the girls was an absolute pig, not just books, clothes etc all over the place but food plates up to 2 weeks old. It was a f***in health hazard. When I saw a plate on her window sill with mold on it I cleared everything, clothes, the lot into bin bags and threw the lot out. She ended up going through the bin retrieving her stuff, there was a major war but she didn't do it again.
Frankly if you're 14 and have a clean room I'd be worried
sometimes us 3 boys shared a bedroom, bunk bed and all.
mom would gather all of our shit up and toss it out into the front yard.
huge pile of clothes, toys, everything...
not cool.
and if you think she brought all of our stuff back in the house
you're nuts

thats how some teens and adults feel
also its much easier to hide things in plain sight
I'm starting to think I could live in G's house and he'd never even know it, just the occasional, brief, ghost-like sighting of some nazi looking cracker out in the pool. I assume he has a couple pools...

Only partially, she does most of the cleaning. However, today I was in my neatness mood and had had enough. I do understand she's in 9th grade taking college level courses I took in college. All she does is study and swim for the school and she believes cleaning her room is a useless formality.

I missed this post, Chad. I swear we're brothers. That is exactly what my mom did as well. Even the shit that was put away got tossed outside. It was keep it clean or start the whole freakin' room over. And talk back? Yeah, good luck with that. Kids today...

Sadly yes, this came up the other day and I refused to believe it. I actually went around and counted them all and it's 11. Only 4 is used on a regular basis, the rest are in the gym, porch guess room (2) on and on. I don't even watch tv except for sports and History/Discovery Channels. I don't really like TV's

Why are YOU cleaning her room?
This problem is very simply solved. Don't nag her at all about the mess. The next time she asks to go out, tell her she can go AFTER she tidies her room. She will be upset at first, but stand your ground. If she wants to go out, she will clean the room.
Now, stop 'putting her space back together again' and enjoy your day off!
dont be down on yourself
it is very easy to be sucked into bullshit
im a prick... i refuse to give in and be like everyone else
also im a loner... im best when im hidden from society

Yeah I know I've done that too. It's me I think I'm just in a very bitchy mood today, Pieces people seem to always be very moody.
Peace, later
