I don't know about all you parents out there but me for one have had enough of the state of my daughters' bedroom.

Considering she takes soooo much care and attention over the way she looks!

I have decided to name and shame her in the hope that she will be absolutely mortified and will listen to my pleas'.

I am not a push-over and we have tried grounding, stopping pocket money all kind of stuff and still this. This is supposed to be a tad light hearted! Something I can show her when she gets in!

The first pics is a pic of my 2 little angels, just so you can see who we are talking about here. The dog even looks shocked in one photo!! I did have one of her en-suite shower room but that is just tooo grim to post, I would be embarressed of that.

Anyone else have problems trying to get the kids to tidy their rooms?

Believe me - my sisters whole house is alot worse!

Do you think this will do the job! Lets us know what she says!

That doesnt look to bad at all. When I lived at home my room was a complete tip!! It was awful. Dunno what you can say or do to make her clean it up as nothing worked with me lol

Well they're beautiful girls Teri!!!

As for the bedrooms I was thinking... they're not too bad at all, my house is worse... but then the last picture shocked me

Take everything off them - throw it all in bags and tell them they can only have it back if they promise to put it all back properly, throw what they don't want and tell them if it ever gets in a state like this again, you will keep it all over the weekend.

Do this on a friday night to your eldest - going around in the same clothes until Sunday will really do her head in.

Trust me - this works!!

I swear I never left my room in a mess after I had this done to me

Wearing the same clothes Friday and Saturday night is just so not cool if you're a teenager - it's 'minging'

Thats tidy compared to my kids rooms at times

My rooms worse than that!

I think you should take everything from her too, only concider giving it back if things improve!

Yup Natalie's is worse than that ... I just make her keep her door closed so that I can't see it and then it doesn't bother me!

The best one to use with clothes lying around the bedroom floor is to say if any clothes are on the floor in 2 days time then I will take them to the charity shop, Bag them up and hide in your wardrobe

Reminds me of when I was young

Your dog is a beauty

Sorry your girls are gorgeous too I am just a Weimaraner fan

Right now I am really angry, she's just rung to say shes' left her purse on the bus with £40 in it. Argh!

My boys bedroom is worse, most of the time you can not see the floor and this is after they have said they have cleaned it. Honestly it is that bad the october half term it took me from 11.55am until 9.10pm to sort it out.

Thankyou mate! x

I think I'll have a go at that anyway now! She has lost her purse with front door key and our address in it . So locks need to be changed quick.

The last picture that shocked you is of dirty washing AND CLEAN WASHING AND IRONING that I have already done.

FFS - I don't know if anyone knows what my abbreviation means but it makes me feel a whole lot better!!

Got your abbreviation loud and clear Teri, lol, my daughter is just as bad, it took us over 7 hours to gut our daughters room last weekend! Dirty pants and socks and all sorts of unmentionables under the bed and she's 9
I filled loads of black bags and off they went to the local hospital, just went up earlier and again the mess was starting and I starting ranting yet again!!!
Thats awful about her purse and your keys! Yikes hun!
