Talk to your parents. And if that doesn’t work, get back at them and say "No im going to do my own laundry, and i’ll clean my own room!" and just don’t clean up after them. Soon they will get the picture and they will get fed up with their mess. YOU ARE NOT THEIR MAID! That is unfair, and they need a taste of their own medicine
Kill your brothers.
Threaten them that you’ll kick them out if they don’t pull it together. If they don’t take you seriously, or if you just don’t have the "meanness" to, you could try totally destroying their rooms. What I mean is, even if their rooms look like disaster areas, they’ll still say it’s organized. Try completely changing stuff around. Also, don’t do their laundry. Eventually, they’ll run out of clothes and even if they wear dirty clothes, people will tell them they stink. If they still don’t do a thing, take something of theirs and say you won’t give it back until they clean up. If all else fails, steal their money and hire a maid.
Feel free to email me if you need some sympathy.
bribe or blackmail them to clean up after themselves, maybe hiring a maid to do the dirty work would be a good job if all else fails too..
Good luckk!
first of all you shouldn’t have to clean up after the boys. they are big enough to clean up after themselves.each time you have to do this,tell them they have to do something for you and promise them something and then when they ask for it, just tell them. look what i done for you. i do your laundry and other things.
If you can set up a chore chart or list where each person is responsible for x,y,z chores we used to do this monthly. We’d toss the chores in a hat and pick… Then we’d be responsible for them for the entire month and pick again… Then there’s no confusion on who’s turn it is to do the dishes, the laundry, the bathroom, the kitchen etc..
If you can’t do that- then when it’s time to do laundry only do your own and maybe bathroom towels… Also, towels CAN be used more than 1x so you only have to wash them 1x a week instead of everyday. If the dirty laundry makes it into the hallway simply toss it back into the persons room and shut the door they can do their own laundry…..
As for the kitchen/bathroom… Whoever cooks gets immunity from cleaning the kitchen… The rest of the family cleans up! It’s NOT about creating interest in cleaning it’s about respecting each other in the home and having pride in the home enviroment not to mention teaching vvaluable lifeskills for the future. If you DO everything for them in time they will expect every woman in their life to do for them…. If they learn how to do for themselves they will be happier adults.
In our house there’s no Saturday FUN until the house is clean. That means EVERYONE helps… So, the more that gets done during the week days means that it’s easier to do on the weekend…!
I have two toddlers and they know when they change for bed that their clothing goes into the hamper… They know before bath/bed that the livingroom and family room get cleaned up and toys put away. If a 3 yr. old and 5 yr. old can do it teenagers should be able to do it as well….
Good luck
