DD (14 ) doesn't keep her bedroom very tidy. One of her friends mums messaged me to say that her daughter had left some perfume in dd bedroom which she thought had fallen down the side of the bed. I just went up to l look and i can only think that dd thinks it is some sort of holding area for the bin, dishwasher, washing machine and a food storage area for half eaten food.

In dd defence she works really hard at school and excels she also does dancing and is generally a busy girl.

But I just don't feel that cleaning her room is my job Aibu? I work 24 hrs a week and I don't feel in the long term I will be doing her any favours as no one will suddenly clean for her whens he leaves home. But I also feel a bit mean and wonder what other mums do. According to dd everyone else is cleaning for their children.

Yes I know that's why I'm not doing it. Not falling for that old chestnut.....but still secretly wondered if they did.

You are preaching to the choir here, my SD's bedroom is a health hazard and she has absolutely no shame. The cleaner hasn't been allowed up there for 6 months there are pants with used sanitary pads in on the floor Tupperware from her lunches displaying more culture than the average Australian. It a disgrace. I actually considered buying a couple of rats from the local pet shop to release into her room in the hope it might show here it is out of control. Oh well just another 12 months before she buggers off to Uni or round the world. I am counting the days Sad
