[QUOTE="KFld, post: 33169, member: 2442"] Your sons room sounds just like mine!! Our son hasn't lived home for almost 2 years now and is currently living in a soberhouse, but last month we went in and recarpeted and painted his old room. It was absoluteley disgusting. Many holes to patch, had to cover the once beautiful hardwood floor with carpeting because it was beyond repair. A couple weeks ago I brought him home and went up to his room and I couldn't believe how spotless it was. Everything was in it's place, the bed was made, clothes were hung up. I was totally amazed. I know they have to keep their rooms somewhat clean as a rule of the house, but even cabinets that nobody could see in were organized beyond belief. His room wasn't just cleaned to the point it needed to be, but it was way beyond that. If he actually had money, I would think he paid someone to clean it. Maybe it's the difference between a kid who's using his room as a hangout drug room and a kid who now is paying his own rent, 6 months clean and his stuff is his responsibility and nobody elses. I worried for a long time that my always picking up after him taught him not to be able to do it himself, but I guess he learned it somewhere [img]:smile:[/img] Hopefully from all the other rooms in our house besides his always being clean! Believe me, if my son can have a spotless room, any kid on this planet can learn to do it. [/QUOTE]
