Teen bedrooms

[Awomanofsubstance85]

How many of you clean/tidy your teen’s bedroom?
Dd1 is quite tidy and clean so I just go in and empty the bin, sometimes strip and change the bed (if she hasn’t remembered), do a basic clean and vacuum. She tends to do a more thorough clean every few weeks. No issues and she is appreciative of my efforts.
dd2 is totally different! Throws clothes on the floor despite having a laundry basket, it’s really hard to know what is clean/dirty. Doesn’t alway flush her loo (great!!!) stuff all over and hates my attempts at keeping it clean and tidy. I ask her to get her washing together but then she will leave it to the last minute. I can’t stand the idea of the room being unaired and constantly in the dark. I think I’m just going it have to let it go and let her deal with the repercussions of her mess. I know that I will struggle when she’s got friends over but perhaps that might be what is needed?
does anyone else just let their teen get on with it? If washing isn’t in the basket downstairs for washing it’s left? She doesn’t eat in her room so that’s one good thing- I don’t have to worry about mice etc

My two are like yours. DD’s room is quite tidy but DS’s room is a pigsty. I clean it for him every joe and again as I can see he is overwhelmed and I don’t think living in a pigsty is good for your mental health.

My teen keeps his room tidy but I hoover it and his dad decorates it. We have a family washing basket and he is good at putting his dirty clothes in it but I wash/iron/put it away. I also change his bed. And I open his blinds in the morning for him.

I put a wash basket in my DDs room. She throws in her washing (sometimes successfully). It was the only thing that worked, and saved her from walking three steps to the family wash basket.

I also threaten to smell her clothes to see if they are smelly. When she is resistant, I usually hold up her washing (underwear) and threaten to smell them. It works every time. She freaks out and puts things away.

I do tidy from time to time, but I am not allowed near her desk.

Every now and again my DS will tidy (not clean) his room.

Funny enough my Facebook memory the other day was a cleaning tick sheet I made for him when he was about 13. Needless to say the tick sheet is still unused, his bin is like Jenga just sees how high he can stack it, the rest of us share one plate unless I recover some pots, also brought him a washing basket after he complained none of his clothes are ever clean so he can put the said dirty clothes anywhere other than in it, not sure he even realises his bedroom window opens ……. need I say anymore 😂
