Ok. I need some advice. My daughter will be 12 soon and she doesn’t mind living like a pig in her own room. Food and drinks are not allowed in bedrooms, so her filth is clothes, trash and just pure laziness. About twice a year I go through her room from top to bottom and I’m usually mad by the time I am done. It’s so nasty and it takes me hours to do it. I’ve tried teaching her to put things back where they came from. I’ve tried to explain how being organized will help her find stuff. I’ve threatened. I’ve grounded and I’ve given up. How can I help her want to keep her room decent? It doesn’t have to be perfect, but I’d prefer her to not snap her neck during a nighttime potty break. Really, just a made up bed and clothes put away neatly would satisfy me. I just feel like she is traveling down a path that will lead to harsh realities when she is an adult. My mom always says that my room was the same, but I don’t recall my room being that bad. Lol. I’m no clean freak, but I like for things to be in their place.EDIT: Yes, I make her clean her own room. Thought that was clear when I said I’ve tried to teach her how to organize and put things back where they came from. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2Y8yZ08
