She is 15, and since around 11 years old her room has become increasingly gross. Washing never gets put in the washing basket, food that isn't allowed upstairs is taken up and left for weeks, bins never emptied, makeup strewn across her desk so no way of doing homework, makeup smeared on walls. Well, you get the scene. I don't hound her with the exception of the washing and food brought down. She loses money by way of strikes, three strikes being £5, this has had a small effect on her but not enough.
She asked around the new year for her bedroom to be decorated, I had said yes on the condition that it is kept reasonable, not perfect, for a length of time. She hasn't. But is now stropping that it's because she hates her room that it's so untidy and if it was decorated she would keep it nice.
So who is BU. Me? Should I decorate it and hope the promise of tidy is followed though, which I highly doubt, or should she just suck it up and unless it's kept reasonable realise it ain't gonna happen.
