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?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
