Kids and their messy rooms

So I have this 10 year old kid who refuses to clean her room. I told her she would not be allowed to do anything else but eat, sleep and use the bathroom until her room is clean. She's been at it in there for 4 days, it's still not clean and almost looks as bad as it did when she started. Today I have resorted to raising my voice at her. I don't expect it to be perfect, hell I don't even care how she keeps it organized just as long as I can walk in there and it looks presentable.

She doesn't seem to care that she's been living in her room for 4 days. The bad thing is it wasn't really that much to clean up. She could be outside playing with her friends, they are all having a great time swimming, slip n sliding, playing in the dirt and riding their bikes. Are your kids this hardheaded?

I cured mine from that with the threat that if she didn't do it I would and that she wouldn't like my way of cleaning. She tested me so of couse so I went in her room with a black garbage bag and started "throwing things away". She took over with a quickness and from that point on all it took was the threat of me doing it to get the job completed in just a few hours.

This..unfortunately my wife isn't a good example and keeps bringing home bags/containers of stuff from the homeplace and is just shoving it whereever.

Try giving her a super big dirty clothes basket. I kept my room clean growing up by having a 50 gallon sized basket to toss everything in.

That works well with clothes and she has a big basket for clothes but we don't clean house by throwing everything into a basket.

I've done that several times & it didn't work.

My daughter just doesn't care. I've even gone as far as taking everything from her for a period of time, she just didn't care.

maybe you could put a TV in the room and run a steady stream of every snap Clausen took this season......that should get her out of there.

This......

It worked great on all of my daughters (4 of 'em) and we just implemented it on the 6 YO. When I clean, I get rid of everything that is not in it's proper place, toys, radio and such. Even some of her favorite clothes.

Nothing gets replaced unless it's on her Xmas list that year.

Kids can be very stubborn and have the hold out power of Bobby Sands.

When you mean get rid of it, do you mean donate it to charity?

      The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)

      Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
