Sorry this has probably been done to death but wanted opinions on how to deal with messy teen bedrooms. I've always picked up after and cleaned DD's bedroom (she's just turned 17) and probably haven't done myself or her any favours. I'm anal about keeping the house clean and tidy and am a touch OCD. Have decided to hand over responsibility to her as I can't see the floor to hoover anymore and am fed up with collecting her dirty laundry and bringing used plates downstairs. We've had a discussion and she said she'd try and keep it tidy.
Just wondering how to proceed if she doesn't keep on top of things. She's a good girl generally, working hard at school, comes home when she says she will and I know who she's with. Is it worth me imposing sanctions if she doesn't keep her room clean? Or should I just let it go?
