That worked! I know exactly how you feel, but I am forcing myslef to close the door on other people's mess. I am not a maid. Repeat after me! And then leave them to it.

I used to be able to just shut the doors but I've had to threaten them with all sorts to try and keep their rooms tidy for a few weeks 'til I sell up!!

Imagine that!!!

I'm not a glutto...Oh my, I remember those days! I'm not a glutton for punishment, but I do like the house to be decent when there's drop ins! I did something similar when my kids where that age. they had until the weekend to pick up their rooms, with many prompts from Mom. By the weekend anything on the floor (which I explained was also a safety hazard) when in a box, and it had to be earned back(extra chores). Only took a couple of weekends before they would frantically run to their rooms to quickly pick up. Of course now that they are teens.....the rooms look awful again, Ive learned to shut the doors. :)FlightFancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609135840175414361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437946214260174933.post-58774068294604490732010-03-06T15:24:02.801+00:002010-03-06T15:24:02.801+00:00Poor you! x The empty-bin-with-rubbish-all-around-...Poor you! x The empty-bin-with-rubbish-all-around-it is something that bugs me (especially when I see litter on the street when there's a litter bin just there!); I can also totally relate to the DS games being left lying around, grrr!! Much too expensive to treat so carelessly!<br /><br />I would go with the bin bag and make him worry, and warn him that next time the stuff really will be disposed of if the room isn't tidied by your deadline. But then, I'm mean like that ;-)humelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337055138734278353noreply@blogger.com
