Messy Teenage Boy Room Cleanup

INSIDE: A MESSY TEENAGE BOY ROOM CLEANUP ALL BY HIMSELF – SEE THEY CAN (AND WILL) DO IT IF YOU TEACH THEM

More specifically – a TEENAGE boy cleaned HIS OWN room.

I’m not making this up at all!!!! I have been NAGGING him for months to go through his drawers…but this….was unexpected!

I went into his room one morning and almost fell over. LIKE seriously? How many soda cans do you NEED to keep in your room to make yourself feel better? Why is it so hard to put dirty clothes in the laundry basket? Why do you want the clothing on your floor? I’ve never been that person, so I don’t understand why this kid WANTED to live like this?

Imagine my surprise when he asked me for hangers……I asked, “why, what are you up to?” He simply smiled and said “you’ll see!”

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see this…..

I knew he was proud of himself. But when I told him it was better than I would have done…he was genuinely proud.

I asked him what he did. He said “exactly what you told me. One drawer at a time, I put my clothes on my bed. Got rid of what doesn’t fit or I don’t wear any more. I put away the clothes that actually go in THOSE drawers. Then I took the clothes out of my closet. Same thing….removed what I don’t wear and used hangers. Amazing how much neater it looks!”

2 bags of trash, one bag of clothing, and a box of old toys!! I am super proud of this boy!!!

Now for the befores and afters:

See – motivation is contagious.
