[quote=Anonymous]Lay off OP, people.  With some people, it takes more than one parent to teach a kid to clean up.  I've got one who from the time she could toddle, was putting away her things and decorating her room.  The other, the older DD, never--never, it's like that part of her brain does not exist.  My DH is similar and there's genetics and bad role modeling to fight against.

When the slob DD was a young teen, I thought how much of our fighting had to do with this, many times a day me being shrill about this and that, and one day I stopped.  So she'll be a slob.  So what, in the scheme of things.  Our relationship is much better and I'd rather have her want to come me when she's out of the house, then never want to see me because I was such an anxious b____ all the time. (And btw I stopped with her dad years before and yes, I clean up a ridiculous amount but our marriage is so much better)

So I'm also interested in the constructive replies as I'll soon be in the same shoes as OP. [/quote]
