<p>My mom and I had some arguments over my room growing up, and it was literally the only thing we ever fought over. I am an extremely messy person but I never, ever leave food out. We compromised at keeping the door closed and no food in there (which I wouldn’t do anyway). It just wasn’t worth it to either of us. She knows that she got lucky with me and just chooses to let it go. I’m incredibly grateful for it :).</p>
<p>I know it bugs her still and she deep cleaned it after I moved out. Now my dad uses my room as an extra storage room basically and it’s driving her up the wall. If he can’t figure out where something goes, he throws it in there.</p>
