Super Hans Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 infact i have told them anything they leave on the floor goes to the bin Why? My mom used to have a go at my for an untidy room, until I pointed her room was just as untidy. It's not the end of the world if the room isn't spotless. Your guests don't go upstairs and mooch around the kid's rooms. Making stupid threats like "anything that's on the floor goes in the bin"...I mean, my mom used to stay stuff like that, and I'd just think "Why is she being a d**k? She doesn't need to come in here and I know where everything is." If you don't mind that your kids are probably thinking something similar about you then go for it.

happylady Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 [/color]@happylady.its only fair the children do their bit. Agreed totally but why start the festivities on a sour note - new year resolutions come to mind ---------- Post added 24-12-2013 at 18:09 ---------- My kids have long since left home and I had many a conversation like this while they were kids - conclusion I came to in the end was that it was best not to venture in their rooms and shut their doors so I couldn't see the mess. The more I pushed it the more they ignored me, teenagers can be sooooooooo stubborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xt500 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Am I mean? I've told my kids christmas won't be happening in this house until bedrooms are clean.Why should they have brand new stuff to put in messy bedrooms. Things don't come free or cheap so they have to understand. I wouldn't mind but they aren't babies, I've got a 16 year old and a 14 year old who were born lazy. They wernt born lazy,you made them that way. ---------- Post added 26-12-2013 at 21:47 ---------- Maybe you should have addressed it earlier instead of waiting 14/16 years.... ..........Exactly!! ---------- Post added 26-12-2013 at 21:48 ---------- Not absolutely true ---------- Post added 26-12-2013 at 21:32 ---------- It didnt take long for the parenting skills to be called into question.
