[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP..no there is no food there.  That has been a house rule forever.  Yes there is easily accessable attic for extra room.  Really torn between just enjoying the summer with him and being appalled with his living choice.[/quote]

Don’t sweat it. These summers go fast and then they’re gone for good. If it’s clutter and not actual filth, I wouldn’t make a stink about it. Once girls start coming around he’ll learn to keep his space tidy. [/quote]

Or he will expect the girls to do it once the girls start doing it for them.

[b]Expect and communicate to your boys that clean their crap up no matter their age. Signed, exwife of a manchild and mom to 3 teen boys. [/quote][/b]

Yes. I can't believe all the excuses I'm reading. This idea that if a man is doing well at college then he shouldn't have to clean up after himself is nonsense. Don't micromanage this, but do communicate your expectations for cleanliness while he's living with you. Bonus that if you have this conversation with him now, he will learn to be more considerate to his future spouse while also learning adult communication skills.[/quote]

Or maybe consider the fact that if women are still telling their college kid what to do, they already missed the boat. It’s time for natural consequences, like embarrassment to take care of the problem. [/quote]
