I am finding it increasingly impossible to get my DD17 to clear up to sort out her stuff, we have moved to a smaller house recently and it has made the problem worse.
In the end we threatened to dump everything she had left on a table (after her exams so it had been there months) in bin bags in her room if she didn't move it by a certain time. Anyway shortly before time up after a stern reminder she cleared it, but now I discover she has put most of the stuff in a bin bag anyway!
My main concern is that she never knows where anything is because of the chaos.
I know some of you will say she should learn by her mistakes, but she doesn't...
I think she would like everything to be organised to complete precision and as she can't attain that, she just gives up.
Sound familiar and any suggestions?
