This will complete my series on Clean Rooms.
Special thanks to The Grunter for providing me with this late-breaking news.
He now qualifies as a “Semi-Adult” as he left the teen years just 3 short months ago.
He actually left this comment on the Monday blog post:
In defense of myself I would like to post pictures of my room located here.
I don’t live like the twins. Sometimes I fall a bit behind in cleaning but I still do WAY better than they do.
Love you mother.
In full disclosure, PhilBillPaul and I want everyone to know that this is just a wee bit out of context as he usually has a wet towel on the floor, his bed is made about once a month and there are various food items on various surfaces in his room.
Further, PhilBillPaul wanted me to publicly acknowledge that The Grunter is the cleanest of all our little piglets.
He then went on to add, “But that’s like saying my pig doesn’t stink as bad as your pig.”
In conclusion…
We love all our little piglets as big as the whole world.
Thank you for this series Sherra. It makes me feel a little better to have read other women’s woes. We have the wet towel syndrome at our house too. STILL no solution to that but I have heard it’s a universal problem. Over Thanksgiving, my husband threatened/bribed? my 17 yr old with something and the room got cleaned! He admitted-”It really didn’t take me that long!” Big mistake saying that. We can only hope that next year his college room mate is more forgiving.
Props to the Grunter for taking a stand against unfair and harsh judgments that he, too, is a filthy pig. Not that I am saying he isn’t, just applauding his courage. After all it must be frightening to go against your mom when she has a forum like this in which to tell your most embarrassing moments! Of course, there is still the issue of his creepy Halloween costume to deal with…
@Karen–I really need to thank everyone for their comments because now I feel better that other people have wet towels and various other icky things in their kids’ rooms!
@Tammy–It’s all about keeping it real and my kids haven’t really seemed fearful when I announce “THAT is going on the blog” so I will continue. And he said he doesn’t know what you’re talking about…creepy Halloween costume?
