help. so angry at dds i stripped their room

[okheregoes]

my dds have been obnoxious madams for months now. Constantly screaming at each other, calling each other names.

Their room is vile. They have clean and dirty clothes covering the floor amongst who knows what rubbish. They have their lunch bags up there going mouldy.

I got to the point of telling them to constantly clean it so i told them to live in it.

Only now i have just found my makeup in there ruined. My mobile in there broken been trodden on where they cannot see the floor. My psp has also just turned up having been trodden on.

I am so fecking angry its untrue. So i have just stripped their room of their tv/ dvd their karaoke machine and all their bits and bobs. They have no respect for anything so why should i let them have anything.

I know when i calm down i will feel guilty but right now i dont want to even see them.

They are 12 and 14 by the way.

To update here. I am receiving the silent treatment. I can so remember doing this to my dad cos he hated it. But im stronger than that and im not giving them there stuff back because they are sulking.So we'll see how long it continues.

As said before i dont expect them to keep room emaculate. And they can scream at each other as long as its not swearing and not in front of ds.

I am completely calm today. And i realised they are not bad girls at all in fact they are very polite most of the time with others. I just want them to learn some manners and respect for our home/ property.

I would recommend reading the "how to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk" and the one called "siblings without rivalry" some very good practical advice about changing behaviour patterns/methods of communication all around.
