To take dd clothes to charity shop

Just been in her bedroom and found a complete disaster.
Not only clothes (dirty) mixed with clean thrown in her wardrobe and pull out trays, but dirty underwear, chocolate and sticky sweets mixed in and several glasses/jug full of horrible yellowy custard type of stuff.

I thought she'd grown out of it, but I can't stress enough how disgusting it was.
I've peeled the crap off, folded them and bagged them up for charity shop.
She still has plenty left, hanging up, but she can't possibly need or want them if she is doing this.

I don't expect perfection, but she is 12 now and surely should be taking some responsibility for her surroundings.
Dirty clothes in a basket which is in her room, not taking chocolate, sweets and concoctions upstairs.

AIBU, I won't tell her unless she asks where something is, or I might take her to the shop on Saturday to visit her clothes Grin

I'd wash them as well. Otherwise the charity shop might just put them straight in the bin.

If you do decide to donate wash them first!!!

As mum of an 11.5yo DD feel your pain but I'm not sure I could bring myself to do that, although DH has threatened it on numerous occasions, and not just with clothes.

I once found a mug containing what appeared to be home grown mozzarella on her windowsill

Ew that's rank. I think I'd just close the door on it and let her enjoy the squalor.
