Teen rooms are the bane of mothers everywhere. It’s not even like when they were pre-teens. In those days, if their rooms were messy, you could shout at them and get them to clean it up, and, if that didn’t work, you could go in and do it. However, when it comes to teens and their rooms you’re dealing with something completely different entirely.
True, you could go and tell them to clean up their rooms. And true, you could shout at them a bit, if you wanted to, or go and clean the room yourself. However, that’s when all the trouble starts. Teen rooms are sacred places and not to be interfered with unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Let Heaven help anyone who tries to tidy up the mess on the carpet. It was there for a good reason and you just had absolutely no right whatsoever to touch it. At least, that will be what most teens will say and, you being the patient, loving mother that you are, will just roll your eyes skywards and explain that the pizza and grubby, old shirt thing just don’t work well together and that you were just rescuing them from impending plague.
Your teens will in turn roll their eyes and protest loudly, 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 dog’s dinner is to redecorate it. Teen rooms might be sanctums for them, but even they would love it if you gave their rooms a fantastic 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 couple of years. That is unless you’re thinking of redoing their rooms every year.
But now you come to your next problem, since teens are famously unusual when it comes to their rooms. You might find that your teen rooms are done out quite differently from that which you had anticipated and that which you would have done beforehand. This is where a comprise ought to be struck, if your teen demands black walls in his room, then say you want to use another colour too that will offset the black.
Be prepared to give in a lot on your ideas no matter how ridiculous their ideas are. After all, they’re only a teen for a while and later they will look back with horror on what bad taste they had.
It is your duty as a parent to give them these years 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.
