[QUOTE="ksm, post: 548679, member: 12511"] Today, easy child asked about having a friend spend the night on Friday. I said, probably be OK, but she needs to clean up the room a lot more than she has been doing. She looked at me. I said, you know, you have been pretty lazy and doing the least amount possible, then playing electronic games when you should be working. She looked at me, smiled, and said... you are right - You know my tricks!. I'll make sure it is done good before Friday. Ask difficult child about the messy room... you get... 'it isn't my fault. I spent the last hour folding clothes and then got distracted by taking care of my gerbil. Besides, I don't feel good and just want to rest. Plus, I need to shower and wash my hair so I don't have time to do this! Aarrgghh. You always want me to clean this - and all my friends have messy rooms... messier than this! They won't care if it is messy. It is my room, why do I have to clean it up????" When I ask why clean clothes are thrown in the dirty clothes hamper, I get a melt down. "I didn't know they were clean! How am I suppose to know what is clean and what is dirty??" and when I find clean clothes stuffed under the bed, thrown to the back of the closet I hear... "OMG!!!" "Why do you have to sneak around me room!!??" and on and on and on.... KSM [/QUOTE]
