Why do I bother?

I fold his clean clothes and hand over the basket. They never seem to get put away. He just uses it as a giant dresser and digs right in. My question is: Why do I even bother to fold them? After he digs in the basket a couple of times you can't tell if they were ever folded. I thinkI should boycott and wash them and throw them right in the basket in a big ball. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Posted by Picasa

What are you complaining about???You weren't to whippy about putting things up when you were his age. Talk about walking into a disaster area. try your room, back then. It was impossible to walk without stepping on something, be it clothes, books or anything else. All the yelling in the world didn't help and you know it.. Telling politely doesn't get it either.. Kids are kids, they either get with the program later or they don't.. You should know that!!!!!

HELLO MOTHER...be nice or I will ban your BUTT from my site. JEZ! If my room bothered you than you should have forced me to be better organized. As far as that basket of clothes goes, you would have been pissed too if half the things that you had to wash the following week had never been worn. It gets to the point that he can't tell what is clean and what isn't so he tosses the dirty stuff on top of the clean stuff. I know this because once and a while I find a folded shirt between some wrinkled ones or a pair of clean socks. If you are going to be messy you better be able to keep your slop in order. My room may have looked like a war zone but I always had a general idea where things were. In the end it has worked out to my advantage because I can't stand things being messy now. So there! I think I am going to start sending you random pictures of frogs....that will teach you!

I never did figure out how Denise got so much in one small room. We didn't know what color the carpet was until she got married and moved out.Jeff was more organized when he was a kid. he had to keep all toys that went together together. But now anything goes. I don't know what the best to do.
