I ...You aren't mean. He has to learn sometime. <br />I fear our youngest <i>still</i> may not have learned, though he is on his own now.<br />He'll learn when it comes time to get his cleaning deposit.<br /><br />When our oldest son wanted a certain color in his bedroom, not only did he paint it, he bought the paint!LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-2057336439398406042012-12-17T13:59:55.110-06:002012-12-17T13:59:55.110-06:00Growing up, one never left a mess, cause you only ...Growing up, one never left a mess, cause you only crossed the BOSS (Mom) once, and then you were in trouble. Having 5 brothers n sisters and two adults in a 3 bedroom house just didn't cut making or leaving a mess anywhere. Taught right from day one. Respect what you have, put YOUR things away when done or they would disappear. Good rules in a full house, "a tidy home is a happy home", Mom would say. You're not the least bit mean, and you are teaching Andrew value in ownership and cleanliness and respect of all that is available and around him.

We'd get on his case, it'd get cleaned and organized and then slowly descent back in chaos... it was always a losing battle. Kids have so much more nowadays than we did growing up and they generally don't prize their possessions - everything's temporary and replaceable in their minds. Thankfully, he's in his own apartment now (he's 27) and takes much better care of his things. It's great that your grandson has an interest in music - a room decorated around that theme just might help tame the problem :)Jane https://www.blogger.com/profile/05368686874403775974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-63229698647729965612012-12-17T09:30:16.004-06:002012-12-17T09:30:16.004-06:00You're not mean...you love him enough to chall...You're not mean...you love him enough to challenge his lack of enthusiasm for what really matters....taking care of his belongings which reflects on how he takes care of himself. I musta done something right along those lines because my daughter is now the meany, meany bo beany about picking up. The grands when put to the task are excellent but like all kids slide down that banister of neglect if not reminded....I still am the reminder (nag). Oh well some things never change.<br />I'm voting you most caring Nana ever and someday in the future your grandson will thank you.
