I am fed up with my sons room i have moaned until i am blue in the face but nothing will make him clean it up. Just before xmas i done it myself and it looked and smelt much better i went in there agin yesterday and u can't see the floor help what can i do
Sounds like your son is at 'that' age right now, so realistically - nothing, literally. Don't clean up after him, not even before events like christmas. Let him take responsibility, including taking care of his own clothes etc. It'll make your stomach turn and make you want to enter your son's room only with the aid of a clip on your nose but it'll sort itself out - no-one wants to be called 'smelly' at school. Peer pressure's great!
Leaning towards cleaning. Am the Queen of my own castle.
My son's room was usually untidy when he lived at home, with stuff all over the place and on the floor. Now he's left home I keep it tidier, but when he comes home for a while it soon gets untidy again (even though he's 24 now). He was home over Christmas and seemed to pack his things to go back to college very quickly, so I said "hope you haven't left your room untidy"...but when I went upstairs I found he had left it really tidy!
Jro, its your home and your rules. I had three children all grown now, and not one of them was allowed to have a dirty untidy room. You just have to make it clear to him he must clean up after himself. I would have hit the roof. Let him know your not happy with an untidy room in your home. I dont hold with this thing about its their age, I dont care what age they are they should be taught to be clean and tidy.
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone. If you enjoy something once,. Do it again. .
Doesn't happen in my house, they wouldn't dare, I do what supernanny does, if it's on the floor and NOT put away, put it in a black bin bag and hide it.....
