That is what my brother does, never learn to clean his own mess. After lunch, or dinner, he just leave the table. Either sit on the sofa watch TV, or go to his room playing game or get online. He never help out to clean up the dishes, or clean up the table. He participate the meal, and he ate too. So, we should share this burden. Sometimes, my mom just do it all, and I can't control myself, and scold my brother for not helping. I would help out too. Sometimes, he made a mess in the kitchen, at the end, my mom would clean up for him. I told my mom, she should make him do something, learn to take that responsibility. Is that right?

In our house mom does everything, but still i like to work and keep the things clean in our house and it is so wonderful when things are clean and you also feel like moving around, but if the things are messy, you will not feel like in full mood at home.I always clean my mess and also clean up other household things to make our house beautiful to see

my sisters too love to leave their mess after another..i tried everything even ask my mom about it and give them some task to initiate that reponsibility thing but it doesnt work at all until now. and we've been used to it, its hard to scold them every now and then and so we just leave them with that attitude maybe time will come and they'll learn to take responsibilty by themselves.

Just think what a better world it would be if everyone cleaned up after themselves. It's bad enough to clean up your own mess. When you are left to clean up after someone else, it is frustrating. It leaves you feeling unappreciated. I say if you make a mess, be big enough to clean it up too!

You need manners to do that. Everyone should take care of what's left after him - whether there are clothes, food or even a spilt water on the floor. I am planning to study at a university next year and it would be difficult living with other poeple I don't know, but it also could be fun. If everyone takes care of himself and not stand in someone's way it would be great. We would help each other and I think that is the best way when you live with other people.
Have a nice myLotting ;)

Of course, your brother should learn to clean by himself.
He is going to be independent!!

I completely feel you, because I have a brother, too, and he's older than me. Is yours your big brother, that should look after you, too? It's hard when one has to tell the adults what they should do, isn't it...
And it could get uncomfortable, but it is what it is, and it also depends if you sleep in the same room, because if you are, then taking a wild guess you'll have to, um...be strangers and have the strange look when he knows he's done something you wouldn't like. So the right way is to talk it with your parent at home, you're right by doing it.

well i agree with you that your brother needs to learn to clean up after himself or else when he goes to live by himself he will know why because he has no self respect to clean up after himself and i bet his house would be a mess so i guess you can beat him till he knows he has to clean up after himself cause that is what my brother did to me when i was like 6 or 7ish so yea good luck

that is right. we have the same situation but that is before. my brother is a perfect mess maker. everywhere he goes he has a mess left behind. because im the elder sister so i have to clean his mess but i got tired so i made him realized that no one will clean his mess aside him. i went shopping whole day and he is left behind the house. he felt that he cant breath when all his mess are just inside his room and he cant find his other stuff. when i went home, his room is already clean including our kitchen area then i saw him on the couch asleep. i so love my brother :)
