Dunno mate ~ the elder daughter, who is now 39, was just the same until she was about 30. Now she phones me to rant about her soon to be 16yo daughter and the child's "slovenly ways ~ surely I wasn't like that?"

I am quite a tidy person  redface: and the Brat's room drives me to despair as I have mentioned before  evil:

It is officially the liar of The Gruffalo  noooo:

I have now stopped picking up her discarded clothes so if they are not in the washing basket they do not get washed  whistle:

The arguments that has caused with school uniforms and her 'favourite' jeans lately have been monumental  8)

With 3 children in the house I have long refused to pick up dirty clothes. Their mother however usually caves in once a week on the grounds that if she doesn't it "will lead to a row" ~ Precisely  eveilgrin:

I threatened to scoop the lot up and lob it out the window into the front garden.

It cut no ice with the ice maiden, and the room remains a war zone re-inactment. evil:

She went out this morning wearing 2 odd socks. ::)

Now Growler jnr's room............... cloud9:
Why the massive difference? Everything in the right place, bed made etc etc. Unbelievable. noooo:

TBH the boys have never been as bad as the THW who has always been an untidy monkey, even when very small. She was one of those babies who always looked a heap no matter how often we changed her clothes.

The older boy is now moving toward teenhood and so is copying his big sister to a degree (there is more than a bit of "Why should I when she doesn't?" about it all) whilst the littlest is caught between two conflicting emotions. He still desperately wants to be a "good boy" but at the same time he cannot resist copying his brother who he sees as "getting away with it" so one half of his room is tidy and neat whilst the other half is covered with inside out shirts and toys waiting to go back in the cupboard.

Both boys were "Glass of Milk" babies. Always neat and tidy.

Yes she does that and calls it "Homework" ~ must think I'm stoopid. Meanwhile at the other end of the interweb conversations is the BF who is, so she tell me, meticulously tidy. Only an impending visit from him can get her tidying her room.

HA HA!! We must have typed the same thing at the same time! lol:
Strange in'it...not?

I've still got the 'boyfriend thing' to come yet.

That is going to be a dark cold and bleak season when it arrives.
I'm totally and utterly dreading it with much fear and anguish.

Lives could be lost, and I'm not too sure whose. scared2:

Nothing you can do about boyfriends mate ~ the more you object the more deceitful the daughter becomes.
You tell her you have doubts about a boy he suddenly becomes the most attractive thing she has ever seen and she will walk barefoot over broken glass and hot coals to get to him.
We have settled for keeping everything in the open and making sure we know at least some of what is going on. Boyfriend is welcomed and treated like one of the family even if he is a little twerp. Oh and we made sure she is on the pill. You can't stop 'em so we reckon it is better to try to prevent any unwanted complications.

Simple fact is that once she starts with boys she will do it no matter what you say or do.
You can't lock her up in a tower to wait for her hair to grow.
They always find a way and the more you oppose it the more she will do it.

I hate the idea too ~ I was a boy once and I know what is going on but as far as the THW is concerned they invented sex. How she supposes she and her brothers got here God only knows. I did ask her once and she replied that it was "Too gross to even think about" ::)

All a father can do is hope that the child has enough good sense to be careful and to remember all you have tried to teach her.
Other than that you are a free taxi service, provider of funds, and general facilitator of her enjoyment of being young ~ just don't expect to be listened to.
