Hi all.
Dd is 16 and a fairly great teenager in terms of how it could be - no drinking, starting out etx and only minor attitude recently (possibly a change coming?) around going to family things. But, I know we all have different views on rooms but in my house, the kids do not own the rooms full stop. They can stick things on walls, choose colours and wallpapers and bedlinen etc and expect privacy. I am not interested in nosing around their stuff. I do expect hygiene and tidiness though to a degree and I suspect dd is becoming a hoarder. She has recently been added to the list for CAMHS for ocd (hollow laugh re: any chance of being seen soon) and her room is disgusting. She refuses to allow me to clean it, refuses to put things away and can't be bothered to bring cups and glasses down. Dirty cotton wool everywhere, make up and lotion stains, piles of clothes mixed up.
I don't know where to go, I've tried nice I've tried sanctions etc.
I think she needs to get rid of stuff like old books (not treasured objects by any stretch) and clothes but this is meant by refusal. She laughs at any attempt at concern but I know she is unhappy about the ocd.
