its similar to clouds from final fantasy and i re-enforced and it still is flimsy how can it be straight?
Is there anyone she would not want to see her mess? Take pictures of it and show them to her friends. Actually i have been in that situation with the girls and I found when they have boyfriends or certain girlfriends they clean up so as not to be embarrassed.
haha funny stuff. but reality. no matter how many times my kids put their stuff in boxes. it seems they dump them out within two days foraging for something. a new mess. its surprising that yours has left it alone. probably, your teen finds outside sources to occupy her? friends, phone, activities. I dont know any kids that go from day to day happily without living in their squallor. lol The best thing to do is to make time to activily direct, supervise, participate in getting the room organized. however, it may last only a little while, but you could make it a weekly get together. a time of bonding, chatting, laughing.
i am not the parent of a teen but i can tell you what my father in law did to my husband when we were dateing. my father in law went into my hubby's room and pulled everything out into the hall even the bed.he then handed my man a bucket full of cleaners along with mop and broom and informed him that he could have his belongings back in the room once it was clean.it took a couple hours but hubby finaly cleaned the right way and got his stuff back.of course with my help cause i felt bad for him.lol
Possibly as fuel pumps are delicate units. Did the engine turn over earlier when the engine didn't want to start?.
I can understand where you are coming from, I have a teenager who I constantly go through the same thing with. I have tried everything. I have gotten her to clean it, but the thing is it looks like a tornado hit it 3 hours after it is clean. Now to YOUR problem, I think that what you did is great. I guess she is pulling a lets see who will cave in first. I think to hold any kind of creditabilty you have to go through with this. I would on day 10 take out only the things she absolutly needs. A few pair of underwear, bras, nightclothes, day clothes and not exactly somthing she likes just whatever will cover her body and be acceptable clothing and one pair of shoes , a brush, deoderant and that is it. I would take everything else out!!!! let her live with only the things that she needs beacuse she doesnt seem to be able to handle having anything other than that. I would take everthing out of the dresser etc. I of course would store it some place. I would then go about my business and act as if nothing is wrong.. when the clothes get dirty let her wash them or wear dirty clothes she is use to you giving in .. this time dont. When she can REALIZE how UNFAIR it is to you for her room to be kept in such a way, then take her to get her stuff and have her put it back (neatly) but only after SHE gives in .. plus a few days.
