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?

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
