[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the clothes on the floor thing. At what point in childhood did they just decide clothes on the floor is ok? 
My kid is 13 and has put her clothes in her hamper since about 18 months. I can’t see her ever just taking stuff off and leaving it on the floor. [/quote]

It’s an organization problem. It happens because there are too many clothes, so it’s hard to put them away. The laundry gets more complicated but there’s no designated place for “dry clean” or “hand wash” or “collect enough wool sweaters until there’s a delicates load.” There’s no “home” for clothes that are worn but not dirty enough to be washed. Those categories start the slide, then you lose track of what’s regular dirty laundry or you stop seeing it and so don’t pick up the sweatshirt you dropped last night in exhaustion, etc etc. [/quote]

Maybe your teen is neurotypical but absolutely no to all this for me.  Hired a professional organizer, there is a spot labeled for everything, and the mess is unreal. All labeled spots ignored.[/quote]
