Teen rooms are a headache for mothers everywhere. It’s not even like when they were younger. In those days, if their rooms were messy, you could shout at them and get them to tidy it up, and, barring that, you could go in and do it. However, when it comes to teens and their rooms you’re dealing with something completely different.
Yes, you could go and tell them to tidy up their rooms. And true, you could shout at them a bit too, if you wanted to, or you could go and clean up the room yourself. However, that’s when the trouble begins. Teen rooms are private places and not to be entered into unless you’re invited to.
Heaven help anyone who dares to clean up even one inch of that mess on the carpet. It was there for a good reason and you had absolutely no right to move it. At least, that will be what most teens will argue, and you being the patient, caring mother that you are, will just roll your eyes skywards and explain that the pizza and three-day-old shirt thing just don’t go well together and you were just rescuing them from impending disease.
Your teens will in turn roll their eyes and scream, not to exaggerate, it wasn’t about to grow legs and walk off on its own, and if it was then wouldn’t that make a great science project. So, you keep cleaning and they keep putting things back. And so ends the story, and you’re right back at square one.
Naturally, one way you could deal with this bomb site is to redecorate it. Teen rooms might be sanctities for them, but even they would love it if you gave their rooms a great makeover.
That doesn’t mean that the room will be any cleaner once they’ve moved back in, but at least you’ll have seen the inside of the room long enough to satisfy you for the next few years. That is unless you’re thinking of redoing their rooms every year.
But now you come to your next problem. Since teens are notoriously different with regard to their rooms. You might find that your teen rooms are done out very differently from that which you had expected and that which you would have done first of all. This is where a comprise ought to be struck, if your teen wants black walls for his room, then say you want another colour too that will offset the black.
Be prepared to compromise a little on your ideas no matter how silly their ideas are to you. After all, they’re only a teen for a while and later on they will look back with horror on what bad taste they had had.
It is your duty as a parent to give them these moments in their lives that they can look back on with mock horror, and ban their kids from doing the same to their own teen rooms.
