Do your teenager's bedrooms look like this?

[thingersandfumbs]

Just that really. My teenage DD lives in an utter shit pit.

So, aibu to care? For context, DP encountered our dog with a used sanitary towel in his mouth a few weeks ago, from DD's shit tip.

I'm no clean and tidy queen, I promise you that, but to me this is unacceptable. Aibu?

Oh my god! NO that is not normal! She needs to sort it out now!

I think YABU for taking images of her private space and putting them on MN.

YANBU about the mess though. She needs to sort it out

That is gross

My bedroom looked like this in my teen years and I would have been utterly mortified had my Mother taken photos and posted them on a public forum .

It is normal for teenagers bedrooms to look like this.

That's fairly disgusting.
And not disposing of her used pads is gross.

It's not unusual. Not great, but not unusual.

You know, if there's a chance she could be identified from this, the personal details are pretty unfair.

No it's not normal.

If I let it yes. You need to insist it's sorted out though.

FYI, she knows I've done it. She thinks it's acceptable and is expecting you all to say I'm a moaning bitch...

YANBU.

My DS is bad too although his room is smaller so not does not look as bad but it is the same.

I turn off the wifi, withhold hold money and stop washing his clothes. It does not work straight away but after about 4 days he takes a bin bag up. Its never great when he has cleaned but its better.

That's how mine looked

My sisters is still like this and she's 24!

That is foul. She probably needs help sorting it out once and for all. It’s like an episode of extreme hoarders.

Mine was a bit like this when I was a teen I did feel better when it was cleaned though so I'd encourage her to sort it (good luck with that )

My room looked quite similar at times as a teenager. Nothing my parents could do to make me keep it clean. I did my own washing. I would deep clean it every month maybe and then it would get like that again. I’m a 32 year old with my own tidy home now so I’m not still a disgusting mess.

I’d be fuming if my parents put pics on the internet though. Pray Daily Fail don’t find this post.

I’m sorry but how small is her room??

I think YABVU to expect a teen girl to manage in that glorified cupboard!

🤔 if you put all my stuff (at 17) in there you wouldn’t be able to open the door!

YABVU!

Used sanitary towels aside my bedroom looked like that as a teenager and I would have died if my mum had taken a picture let alone put it on the internet! How mean.

I now live in a lovely tidy house though so it doesn't last.

No, no where near that bad!!

My teenage bedroom on the other hand...........

No food in bedroom. Bin bag it all, clean hoover. Then ask her to go through bin bags. Sanitary wear in bathroom bin

I think you lack filters, yes.

I wouldn't worry about identification - how many teenagers are on
mums net?

Dirty and disgusting (regarding the sanitary towel) yes... but still normal mess.

I had friends at school who’s room looked like this, and mine wasn’t a great deal better at times. My mum didn’t really care and neither did theirs. Me on the other hand, there’s no way I could handle this in my house. Has she not got enough storage or is she just being lazy.

Sorry OPs DD, it’s disgusting. I bet you don’t realise t but your clothes you wear to school will smell and you’ll have gone nose blind.

My teenage floordrobe was a thing of wonder. No food/plates though and def no sanitary products. That's fucking grim.

I'm a very tidy adult.

Messy is one thing
Dirty Sanpro is a whole other level of vile and needs to be dealt with harshly- not on at all!

No food or drinks other than water in the bedrooms if they can’t clear up after themselves
