[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take everything away, except necessities (i.e. clothing) and pile it neatly in the basement.  Each day he gets to pick one thing to take back.  As long as his room is neat, he can continue to "shop" his stuff in your basement.  If the room gets messy, he loses the last thing he reclaimed.  If it stays messy, he loses the previous thing, until he cleans the room or you have all the stuff again.  [/quote]

oh, leave him alone.  [b]My mother & I fought over when/how/if I put my clean clothes up.  It ruined our relationship as a teenager and still has negative consequences today.[/b] I do say, no food.  Also, do have a day to help him go through paperwork, it can be done while you two watch a movie together.  Have him go through cords & plugs to see if he still needs them, if so, they can be tossed in a box & he can deal with the tangle.[/quote]

I suspect that you were a little bit difficult to deal with and maybe you still are.
Honestly you have your own kids now and you are still messed up about your mom telling you to clean up your pigsty?[/quote]

Good for you having the energy to respond to that nonsense. An adult who is so psychologically frail that they are still upset about having to clean their room 25 years ago.[/quote]
