Gross, Cleaning and Kids: Grossed out

Grossed out

By disguested - 04/03/2010 20:01 - United States

Today, after threatening my son for weeks that if he didn't clean his room, I would, I went in, equipped with a garbage bag, ready to throw away everything I found, only to discover dozens of empty bottles, two partially empty pizza boxes, Taco Bell wrappers, and cockroaches. FML

Today, my son found a cockroach in his bed. I had to kill the thing and wash all his sheets and stuffed animals before he'd finally agree to go back to bed, three hours later. FML

Today, I came home from work and found that my son had taken every single one of his toys out and left them on the floor. Plus some goldfish crackers. FML

Can't win, part 15

Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML

Today, I had a bunch of parties while my parents were out of town. I made sure to clean up absolutely everything, I even vacuumed the stairs. As they pulled up, I noticed all of the trash bags filled with beer cans blocking their way into the garage. FML

Today, I visited my son at his university accommodations and noticed he's clearly never cleaned it since he moved in two years ago. I tried cleaning it myself, but gave up entirely when I found what looked like mushrooms growing out of an old takeout container. FML

Today, I came home from school to find almost every single personal possession and piece of furniture from my bedroom all laid out or disassembled in the back yard. My dad smugly told me I'd better start moving it all back. This is his revenge for me salting his coffee this morning. FML

Today, I came back to my apartment to see that my roommate had left out bread, deli meat, and cheese on the counter, and made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informs me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. FML

Today, I walked into my son's room to be attacked by a swarm of flies. I'm afraid to go back in there. FML

Grow up

Today, I cleaned my 21 year-old son's bedroom from top to bottom. When he got home from work all he could do was complain that the clothes that were on his "floordrobe"’ were "only worn once." This was my only day off, so why do I bother? FML

Thanks for the memories

Today, I went over to my mom’s place to attempt to help her clean up, as she’s a hoarder. I was devastated to see that in order to make room for all the unnecessary new crap she buys, she stored all of our childhood toys, photos and the like outside in uncovered bins. It’s all completely ruined. FML

Well that's a useless threat. "Do your chores or I will for you!"

What's the problem? You should've known what you were getting into.

Ha ha. Yea I agree with # 13. I mean unless he had something to hide I think he would like it if you cleaned his room lol. Kind of a sucky threat ha ha. Your supposed to take something away from him that he's attached to.

My parents took everything out my room except for the mattress, including my door. Not because I didn't clean, just because. :(

No no no, he said he gets "a red but." But ≠ butt. I think he didn't quite finish his sentence, thus the conjunction.

why did u let his room get so dirty you just need to take control of him he is being an ass. I think ur afraid to tell him what to do, he is taking advantage of that and being a bastard to you. get over that and stop this

Rather than saying you will clean up his room the next time, tell him you will take away one of his privileges (for instance, his games). The reason why he did not bother to listen to your threat was the fact that he know you will give in and do it for him. If you want him to learn, doing what he is suppose to do will not teach him to be responsible for his own actions.

I'm thinking the OP meant EVERYTHING. I know my mom made this exact same threat when I was a kid, and when she said she'd throw away everything, she meant everything but the desk and bed. That would include any electronics (TV, radio, etc.), games, gaming systems, books, papers, clothes, and anything else she found.
