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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wife asked our 17 year-old son to clean his room. Following up, he lied to his mom and said it was clean. After rechecking his room, he began to throw things and I returned to find holes punched in the walls. I went and patched the holes, after which he immediately kicked more holes. 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, so I made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informed me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. FML
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
Today, I walked into my son's room only to be attacked by a swarm of flies. I'm afraid to go back in there. 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.

I don't understand what the huge deal is about clean rooms. It's their room, they can do whatever the hell they want with it, well, unless there is company.

He's probably a teenager, which means OP deserves this. Don't make threats that benefit them, instead of you. "Clean your room, or I take away your cellphone/laptop/etc." But no. "Clean your room, or I'll do it." *****Supposed to be a reply to #2, or something, but whatever.

203: His room was attracting roaches. Roaches breed prolifically and will quickly infest the entire house, not just his room. Mom and dad paid for the house. And since they own it, can decide how they want to set the cleaning standard.

I mean, I haven't lived with my parents for a few years, but having my parents clean my room for me was a legitimate threat aside from the threat of throwing away all of my stuff. Am I really the only one that wouldn't want either of my parents going through everything in my room and cleaning up? It's not even about having something to hide, though I'm sure there was plenty, but it's just about privacy in general, even if it is their house... I mean, is nothing sacred? I guess I can be fairly territorial anyway, but really... When I was living with my parents, I wouldn't want them near my room. Maybe it is just me.

burn the house down; cockroaches are impossible to get rid of completely.
