My dd is 18 and taking a 1 year course at a local college before applying to uni next year.
For the umpteenth time, and despite tears, threats and rages (on my part), her bedroom is once again an utter tip. I'm not talking here about general untidiness but clothes all over the floor, spilt drinks/make-up not cleared up/ bin overflowing/ knickers with dirty sanitary pads on the floor; hair stuck to the shower cubicle wall, empty shampoo/conditioner bottles strewn around her bathroom. Both bedroom and bathroom smell. I've offered to help her clean but she refuses help.
In herself, she's clean and tidy so mo issues there.
It's getting me down so much. She promises to change but never does. I find it's disrespectful. The house isn't a show home but I expect some modicum of cleanliness.
I'm at my wit's end. I feel at 18 she should be able to manage this.
For those of you having experienced this, did anything work?
