Confessions of a slob

Stepcreaturesonly's picture

Hey all, I never post. Read lots.
After looking at WalkOnBy's pic of SS's messy room, just had to admit: when I was a teen mine was WAY worse. AND, sadly, still is sometimes! Some of us have a tidy personality....some of us don't!

(That said I would NEVER have left used pads in clothes etc like some skids on here. that is plain nasty.)

I was a messy kid...but no food in the room at all. Not even water.

Now, I keep the common areas Clean, almost all the time. Right now there are Legos in the dining room and they are making me Crazy! Private areas, like bedrooms...well, they vary greatly. But the master BR is pretty straight.

My sister was very bad as a kid but no way my mother would let it get to the level of trash, discarded food, dirty clothes and sheets/bedding as my Sd12 (and ASS) does. In fact, I'd be ok to overlook if there wasn't the rotting food and household dishes issue (I.e. No cereal bowls for anyone but SD12).

It's and extreme and when it starts affecting anyone .else in the house, it's crossed a line.

I have to confess, even at 14 I was a compulsive neat freak :? 26 years later I am even worse. I told my mom about some of what I've read here. She said never in all my teens did anyone know I was on. My room was spotless, I was clean and washed my hair daily, I always tidied up behind myself. I always did my chores and was not asked more than once. I seldom back talked my parents and when I did, I had a valid reason.

What I did not do:

- Study
- Enough homework
- Bond with my family

Im hoping my new label machine will bring about a growing up. Smile I would love to be tidy.
Again, no filth, just disorganised.
