What is it with kids?

can understand,if not you then who 'll b there for your child.its good that you think about the organized world for your son after all hygeine is very important.he might not understand that now,however i can asure when he'll grow he'll praise you to teach him about cleanliness & organized life.organized life always starts from a corner to room to house to school to college to workplace to city to state to country to world.........bingo!!keep showing him the neat picture irrespective he sees it or not.

I know exactly where you are coming from ...my daughter is the same way ...and her bathroom the same ..takes her work clothes off in there and throws them in the shower and closes the curtain to hide them ...lol...can't even walk in her room she has cd's make up and who knows what on the floor...I went in her room 2 months ago and cleaned it from top to bottom ...and now its right back to where it was...I told her next time I will go in with a trash bag and then that will be it...nothing on the floor will stay..she has been cleaning slowly but surely...hope it continues ...good luck with your son...

All kids and especially boys are oblivious to mess. The only thing you can do is either make them clean the room or clean it yourself one good time and tell the next time you clean it anything on the floor becomes yours to do with as you see fit. They won't believe you at first until you actually do go back and clean it and keep the items they had on the floor. I have things packed away from my sons room that he has not seen in years! I have even thought about wrapping them as gifts for his Birthday or Christmas. LOL

My neice is the same way. I don't know what it is. I had mine cluttered as a kid but you could see the floor, well in spots and there was a path but not with hers. She's been doign better lately but we've had to be on her about it. Really bug her and of course we threaten to remove things if she doesn't. So far better but who knows how long it will last.

I'm mother for a son too.I don't know about yours my is 10 years old.The more time is very difficult to put him clean and organize him room.I keep trying every day but if i will not say to him we will not do anything.Just he will let his room at the mess as it is.So i keep trying every day again and again.

He is a kid and unfortunately a child doesn't seem to mind being in what we like to call a mess they might call their sanctuary!!!

how old is your son ,if they are still below 10 years old,it a habbitual for the kid,but if they over than 10 years it is a problem that you must strict with them ,we need to keep the clenliness in our environment

When I was younger I was like that; the mess never bothered me. I could have dishes stacked up everywhere, clothes on the floor, a complete pigstye. Now it really botheres me. Not to the point that I freak out about it but I can't stand walking into a room and seeing clutter everywhere. I really do think that this is a phase that kids go through; when they hit their late teens and early twenties they usually start being more organized. Maybe it is something that he'll grow out of, if not, set up some daily chores. If there is one thing to do a day it doesn't seem as overwhelming.
