[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so far down on the list of thing I care about.  So what if there are clothes on the floor?

My kid does this-there’s a mountain of clothes in his bathroom until it’s time to do laundry.  He then picks them up and does his laundry. I don’t do it for him. The only time I will pick it up for him is if the cleaners are coming. Kid has late practices and early start times  so if I have to pick them up once every other week so be it. Kid is great overall so I’m not going to get on his case about a pile of clothes on the floor.

Older 2 kids were like this too and they’ve managed to become functioning adults who now contain their clothes to their room and not shared spaces.

Me too - who cares? I am glad you wrote this because I was starting to think I was a slob. I am definitely clean but seriously I have no time to debate stupid stuff that I have no chance of winning anyway.  [/quote]

She should do it because her mother asked her to, it's a totally reasonable request, and that should be reason enough.   If you want to raise entitled, lazy, and disrespectful kids who don't think they have to follow the totally reasonable rules and boundaries set by their parents, you are a crap parent and raised your kids poorly, and they will ultimately suffer for it.  We just made the decision in my office to fire a young employee next month at his annual review because -- and this was the straw that broke the camel's back -- he keeps leaving his dirty coffee mug in the shared kitchen sink in our small office.  We've repeatedly sent office-wide reminders that it is not our office manager's job to do the dishes and everyone is responsible for their own dishes.  It's disrespectful and we can replace him very easily.  He does mostly good work but this entitled attitude shows up in his work too--he only does the things HE thinks he needs to do and if he thinks a task is stupid or beneath him or disagrees with it, he shirks it or does a half assed job after being hounded to do so.  I'm sure he was raised by parents like you.
