Gross, Cleaning and Kids: Grossed out

Grossed out

By disguested - 04/03/2010 20:01 - United States

Today, after threatening my son for weeks that if he didn't clean his room, I would, I went in, equipped with a garbage bag, ready to throw away everything I found, only to discover dozens of empty bottles, two partially empty pizza boxes, Taco Bell wrappers, and cockroaches. FML

Today, my son found a cockroach in his bed. I had to kill the thing and wash all his sheets and stuffed animals before he'd finally agree to go back to bed, three hours later. FML

Today, I came home from work and found that my son had taken every single one of his toys out and left them on the floor. Plus some goldfish crackers. FML

Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML

Today, I had a bunch of parties while my parents were out of town. I made sure to clean up absolutely everything, I even vacuumed the stairs. As they pulled up, I noticed all of the trash bags filled with beer cans blocking their way into the garage. FML

Today, I visited my son at his university accommodations and noticed he's clearly never cleaned it since he moved in two years ago. I tried cleaning it myself, but gave up entirely when I found what looked like mushrooms growing out of an old takeout container. FML

Today, I came home from school to find almost every single personal possession and piece of furniture from my bedroom all laid out or disassembled in the back yard. My dad smugly told me I'd better start moving it all back. This is his revenge for me salting his coffee this morning. FML

Today, I came back to my apartment to see that my roommate had left out bread, deli meat, and cheese on the counter, and made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informs me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. FML

Today, I walked into my son's room to be attacked by a swarm of flies. I'm afraid to go back in there. FML

Grow up

Today, I cleaned my 21 year-old son's bedroom from top to bottom. When he got home from work all he could do was complain that the clothes that were on his "floordrobe"’ were "only worn once." This was my only day off, so why do I bother? FML

Thanks for the memories

Today, I went over to my mom’s place to attempt to help her clean up, as she’s a hoarder. I was devastated to see that in order to make room for all the unnecessary new crap she buys, she stored all of our childhood toys, photos and the like outside in uncovered bins. It’s all completely ruined. FML

Well that's a useless threat. "Do your chores or I will for you!"

What's the problem? You should've known what you were getting into.

Maybe I'm reading into this wrong, but is it your intention to teach him that if he doesn't want to do what is asked of him, you will just do it for him? You fail on this one YDI.

Multiple posts explain. My mother also made the same threat. "Clean your room, or I throw everything in it away." Very persuasive threat, in my opinion. Got me to clean my shit up, anyways.

Sounds like a typical teenager minus the cockroaches. That's just nasty...

I'm guessing the cockroaches were just thrown in there to make it sound worse.

threatening that you would clean his room if he didn't? so what is that? if you don't do your work, i'll do it for you! that's not gonna make him do squat.

Well that's different than the whole "Clean it or I will." Saying you'll clean it for the kid isn't do a lot of good. Now if she had said "Clean it or I'll throw EVERYTHING YOU OWN IN THE GARBAGE" that I could understand being a threat

don't listen to these guys. you did the right thing telling him that you'd clean his room. (she meant that she'd throw away everything out of place) If he had all that in his room, you should ground him harshly. Now show your son that in the real world, he would be a shut in. Hey! confine him to his room with his "pets" see if that helps!
