I am not at all trying to suggest a way to handle this situation, but I have greatly enjoyed watching this drama unfold. And I think that if i were in your position, the suggestion might be made that if the room were not cleaned up and all items put away in their proper places by a certain point, then I would be doing it. And every item i picked up myself would be going in a garbage bag for goodwill. I would give my daughter one month to earn back her stuff with good behavior, and after that it would all be donated to people who will be grateful and respect it properly. Like I said, I don’t mean any of this as an opinion for you to use (unless you want to), because no doubt you know better than I do how to deal with your own children. but i have appreciated you sharing this saga so that I can mentally prepare myself for my own daughter’s teenage years. God help us all

Looks like you’ve got some great new PERMANENT electronic gadgets to use.

My room was so messy when I was growing up. Why are some kids so sloppy?

Oh goodness.. BoredMommy is right.. maybe Hoarders is the show for her..

PS.. I say the mess gets cleaned up.. or you get fed up and toss it into big black bags. (oh wait..that is what my mom used to do..haha)

It does make me feel a little better to find out that it’s not just boys who are domestically challenged. Have you named this Hurricane?

You should make her watch an episode of Hoarders – that might help!!
