[quote=Anonymous]DD1 is 17 and I tried everything...everything....about three years ago I read a fabulous DCUM recommendation: "Yes your teen is crazy!" about other behavior, and as a side note, the book gave me permission to let the messiness go. DD1 just cannot see the mess. BTW I have a wonderful DH who also is unbelievably messy and also totally un-trainable. DD2, who is 15, is neat. She was organizing her room from age 3 on. She's very helpful in picking up for the family if asked. All that said, I think just go for the training kindly, and decide you will rinse and repeat for YEARS. Have no expectations, just repeat. That way if it's some sort of impossibility, you won't be getting frustrated/mad every day like I was. But, if the behavior can be influenced, you'll have some success. So you'll win either way.[/quote]
