<p>No housekeeper here, but I’m really not too hung up on how the kids’ rooms look. For many years, we had 2 or 3 boys sharing a room and I just let them negotiate. It was always funny to see one corner of the boys’ room neat and organized within an invisible line while the rest of the room was a disaster. Now I just have one boy at home and he fills the entire room with his mess. I do insist that he clean his own bathroom, however. </p>
<p>D, who was also a “messy” one at home, now has a “messier” roommate at college. Payback!</p>
