Are you serious? Empty wine bottles in 15 year olds room?
Have a word with yourself about that, and as for the slob of a daughter....since when does she make the rules in what I assume is YOUR house?

Yuck, how unsanitary. Let her go and use the time to gather everything on her floor into bin bags. She can get 1 bag back at a time provided she sorts everything in it. She is to do her own laundry from now on. Clearly talking has not worked, time for a different approach.

Empty bottles of wine?!

As a teenager mine was the only tidy room in the house. Honestly, that being said, I would let my kids keep their room as they please so long as there wasn't actual food rotting in there. I see it as their space and it isn't worth the arguments.

Yeah no that's not on. Encouraging rats, flies etc. Shame you didn't notice it before evening when presumably her social life heats up, but can't be helped.

I was a teenage slob and don't make a thing about the state of my teenager's rooms, but they're not that bad. A bit Shock about the bottle of wine, though.
