[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were extremely controlling about cleaning (and everything else in life), including cleaning for my bedroom. Until I moved out, my room was always completely clean and my bed was always made. And then I went to college and became a slob and never recovered. My half of the master bedroom is usually a mess, despite my periodic efforts to keep things under control. My 7 year old DS is probably a slob at heart too, but we give him the choice of being a slob like mom or cleaner like my spouse. So far, he’s chosen to be like my spouse and chastises me for throwing my clean clothes on the floor in a pile. All of that to say that you can’t predict anything by what a parent requires of their child when it comes to cleaning![/quote] Possibly your adult choices were a rebellion against your parents' controllingness? Kind of like kids who go crazy with junk food if their parents never allowed it -- just because they can?[/quote]
