Dd 13 is a normsl teenager. Loves the internet, fashion , make up, music, boys etc.
she's pretty good at school and is comited to her hobby of ballet, tap and modern.
She's kind, funny and polite.
The problem recently is an absolute out and out refusal to clear up after herself.
She doesn't say no but just doesn't do it. It's as if I havemt spoken.
So her room is now so hideous that there is a smell like shit coming from it.
We have chatted about it, ive written her texts and notes, ive tokd her she cannot bring friends up there.
She is literally ignoring me and simply not doing it.
Now I'm all for letting them have their own space (ive raised 3 teen boys) but the smell is horrendous and I think it's time to get tough.
She cannot find anything and we are running out of cups.
I've tokd her if it's not tidied and cleaned by the end if the weekend I will get her phone cut off.
Any suggestions?
She also cannot turn off lights or put anything away after she uses it eg. Milk butter cheese jam cereal. Help'
