I used to go in with my haz-mat suit on and clean my kids rooms when they were off at Gramma's or Aunties house for the weekend.

The looks on their faces was priceless!!

Haha

Saw on the news this morning that a kid was told to clean up his room, and when he did he found a lottery ticket worth $83,000!!!

when my daughter was a high school teen, she would leave a lot of stuff on the floor of her room. She was asked to tidy up and vacuum and usually complied, Once she showed some reluctance and did not do it for days. Her father was going on a business trip, so we loaded garbage bags with the stuff on the floor, put ithem into the trunk of the car and away he went. She was a bit angry (Yes a bit). Was she surprised!!! Shad to wear what was not on the floor or borrowed from friends till Dad returned. Lesson learned? probably not, but there is not a thing out of place in her mimimalist house. EXCEPT for the kids' rooms and they just shut the doors.

I did a similar to my daughter once.She had a habit of throwing dirty clothes under the bed.
I told her when buying her new school clothes, "I had better not fid these under the bed".
A week later there they were.
I took everything she had except what whe was wearing and hid them.
She had to wear the same outfit to school for 2 weeks before I gave her stuff back.
She would wash them every night (afraid to let me do them for fear I would keep them too).
A month later all was forgotten and clothes under the bed again.
I just gave up.

WOW maybe I should go clean my girls room. We can only wish.

Once my children became teenagers, I vacuumed but that was all. They were expected to do the rest. If they didn't clean up, I just shut the door.
