Hey there, kiddos,
I might have gotten a bit carried away this morning when I checked your rooms. But honestly, you all were glued to your screens when I asked if everything was tidy. The mumbling responses didn’t exactly inspire confidence, so I had to investigate. I know I raised my voice, but this isn’t an apology; it’s a “This is how it’s going to be from now on” message. So listen up!
Here’s the deal: I am your mother, not your housekeeper or a doormat. You’re old enough to know better, and believe me, I’ve reminded you countless times to clean up after yourselves. It’s exhausting to keep track of how many times I’ve had to say this. I set the tone in this household, and it’s time for you to step up.
You were probably wondering why I reacted strongly over “a few things out of place.” Well, let me paint a picture: I was on my hands and knees finding socks and underwear under your bed. Trust me, some things are better left unseen! And just a heads-up, your curtains are not tissues!
As I stormed down the stairs with an armful of laundry, I tripped over the shoes left right in the middle of the floor. You know, the spot where it’s easiest to fall and land face-first in soiled clothes. And while I was trying to shove that laundry into the machine, I almost slipped on… well, let’s just say, it was far from pleasant. You can’t tell me you don’t hear the mess you leave behind!
I am done with excuses and reminders. If I see another candy wrapper hidden away, I will lose it. Let’s be clear: this is the last time I raise my voice about this because I will not keep cleaning up after you—especially when it comes to bathroom messes!
I control the fun in this house, and I won’t keep shouting about this anymore. Instead, I’ll just take things away. Those devices you love? Gone. Friends coming over? Not happening. And if you think I’ll treat you to ice cream just because I want some, think again. I can enjoy a chocolate cone solo while you watch me scrub up after you.
And don’t think I’ll forget the dirty laundry, the towels left lying around, or the apple core you thought was cleverly hidden. Some things you can’t unsee, and I’ll be shutting down the fun zone in this house faster than you can say “chewed gum on the windowsill.”
It’s not too much to ask for a little tidiness. These messes don’t happen because you forgot or didn’t know; it’s just laziness and a lack of care for living in a clean space. But guess what? I’ve got a remedy for that.
Are we clear? Great! Now, go tidy up your room.
