I have done something mean and wicked

[ScreamEagle]

Have nagged her for months and months about putting her dirty washing in the laundry basket. Have threatened lots of times not to do it if it isn't in there....

So her school uniform is still in a heap on her bedroom floor where she chucked it on Friday evening along with at least 8 pairs of dirty knickers and socks and numerous other items of clothing.

Thing is, come tomorrow morning she will have no school uniform which is clean. Shall I remind her so I can wash it in time? Or, (as I am inclined to do) leave it and let her wear dirty, crumpled uniform to school?

I think putting a laundry basket in her room is a good idea. This worked for my eldest DD. DD2 does not one in her room as she says it makes her room smell! She is good at putting clothes in the laundry basket and does keep her room tidy.Needs reminding about other stuff though. My youngest DD needs reminding to put her clothes in the bin, si I should put a laundry basket in her room. She is 13 and dyspraxic so does have trouble with organisation.

OOh.... I have enjoyed reading this. I have a 10 year old daughter (going on 18!). Found some good suggestions here, laughed and cried (screameagle's conversation with daughter!) My ten year old is a premature teenager.
Normal mode doesnt have any effect in our house so I have to alternate between "this is how your behaviour/lack of help/tantrum makes me feel" and gaining the sympathy support or the freak-out mother whose children comply as they are too scared not to!
I will be watching this site for tips in time to come and thank you all in advance for your advice!
