Could you live here?

This is a picture of my daughter Allie's room. Keep in mind that I had just picked up 4 bath towels moments before. To give you a sense of it, the towels were in the areas where you can see the carpeting.

In the true confessions department - this was the first time I had poked my nose in her room in quite some time. I try to respect my daughter's privacy as much as possible. Marci has complained about this situation for some time and I have pretty much ignored it. I don't think I can any more. I think I am going to teach her how to do her own laundry and stop doing it for her - who knows what affect that will have, probably none other than I don't have to do her laundry any more. I feel badly for her first room mate. Can you imagine living in a dorm room with someone who keeps her room like this? I think I would be looking for a transfer as quick as possible.

Is it any wonder that she always thinks she needs more clothes? She can't find anything in this pig sty. Oh, I forgot to mention - she just cleaned it last weekend.


Teenagers are a steady state conundrum for me.
