[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 197968, member: 2005"] I feel for you, my L does it alot, the changing to suit her mood, all of them have been known to put clean clothes back in the laundry rather then put their pile away. Makes my head want to explode when I grab some dirty laundry and find still folded jeans in it. With my pcs, when they did this I made them start to do their own laundry and it worked out very well. They messed up and wore dirty clothes to school a few times but they learned. I truly don't think I can expect the same with my crew now. I make the kids clean their rooms on Sat. morning...then they can start their day. If they are too emotional/ in a bad place, I will tell them to clean for 10 minutes or pick up 9 things. I get something out of them. Personally, I think the benefit of an organized room is worth going in and cleaning it myself for my difficult child's, but I'm just too exhausted dealing with everything else so I ignore the rooms and shut doors during the week.
