Teenagers...and the cutlery tray!

[deezyb]

My daughter (soon to be 13) is bored..... apparently! she is cleaning out the cutlery tray (you know how it is!) and clearing my windowsill of all needless things that I keep there! ie. moving envelopes of seeds/pots of seedlings etc! I'm sure she has other things to amuse her!

I can understand sorting out the cutlery tray..but the windowsilll and seeds!OMg

[janeyo]

Quick send her round mine, I have loads of sorting she can do! lol

I know what you mean my daughter will be 12 on 30th April when she gets bored she starts tidying up don't want to discourage her but can never find anything.

I used to tidy my mums house when I was little, in the hols when bored. It was always such a tip. She used to spend ages looking for things that I had prob thrown away haha

She can come round here after too!! Need help sorting Laurens pit, the tidying bit of her brain not up and running yet at 7 evidently

[deezyb]

my mum was always dead tidy, hence the reason I'm not that tidy...and thus the daughter tidies! all I know is..I know where MY things are...! just gone downstairs and she's crushing up eggshells for the veg patch!!!! spooky really spooky! clearly the object of her desire is....pocket money!

i used to tidy my mums house when i was younger was an excuse to nose through things without getting told off, i hated tiding my room though,
my house is not dirty in fact i pride myself on a clean kitchen and bathroom but living room and dining room just forever a mess, thing is when i tidy i can never find anything, anyway as they say after 3 years the dust doesnt get any thicker

[deezyb]

i like your thoughts on dust there areia! my kind of thinking!

[deezyb]

the cherub (daughter) is still cleaning!!!!! time for her bed methinks! )

[Alison C]

Wow deezyb whatever you have done to bring up a child that likes to clean up after herself patent it, you will earn a fortune!!

[BarleySugar]

Make the most of it, mine used to be like that, now she's almost 16 it's a different story!

[Flummery]

I never went through the tidying stage. Consequently I know can't even understand the concept. However, I CAN usually find stuff!

[mrs dog]

No I don't get the tidy thing at all! Life is def too short! I know which pile everything is in and that does for me! All except my glasses now nearly 4 weeks and counting will soon have to paint my stick white at this rate!!!
