I have always thought that females are generally a much tidier sex than our beloved males. Until ........ I had a daughter ....... she is a junk hog! She collects everything and will not throw anything away! I am currently in the process of trying to clean her room out - she wants to keep EVERYTHING .... the odd skanky shell, bits of paper with stickers on ..... EVERYTHING!

Is it just my daughter!!

Being the mum of sons,I thought they were the worst, well my two created havoc as soon as they could crawl and have not changed since,I don't think it is down to gender though,you just get messy and tidy people.

No it is not just your daughter.

Mouldy oranges in bags,fur growing uneaten sandwiches in boxes.

That was when she was younger.

Now she has her own home & children it is payback:wah:

She has turned into a clean freak & her daughter has turned into her.

She tells me about it all the time .I just look at her & smile

Ah the serenity:sneaky:

Our son was always tidy when he was younger & is still not to bad.

My daughter has more crap in her dresser drawers then she has clothes! And the clothes she has in it don't fit her anymore!

:wah: My 12 yr old son is much tidier. Lucy just hogs everything and refuses to throw anything away.

I loved the bit about manky orange peel .... she hasn't started collecting them yet, but give her time

And they won't get rid of them either!

I dont think you can blame either .....I have two girls and two boys 1 girl was super tidy the other the opposite both boys never made their beds and always dropped the towel on the floor and left it Now they are adults both girls are tidy and both boys are still dropping towels.

I have two girls and they are messy pups.

They hoard EVERYTHING!!!!!

They have taken clothes out of drawers to harbour their nasty crap....little iddy bits of paper and marbles and strings and finds from the beach that stink....Always find sand in them drawers.....Kelsey my eldest has a huge frog collection (not real hah hah) that take over her bedside cabinet...little green sh*ts, i have to polish every bloody one of em.......other daughter is minging, she mixes potions and lotions and leaves them in unusual places for me to find, sometimes under knickers:mad:she writes on lots of paper and just throws it over her shoulder............dont even start me on her bag collection:-5:-5:-5:-5

hubby is a messy untidy bloke too:-5

No you don't. You choose to. You could always delegate cleaning them to her!

Girls are tidier, or I wouldn't be cleaning the house so much!

jeeez take a chill pill man...Of course I choose too, my whole post was said in a humorous tone Joe. I dont make my kids clean, just tidy up after themselves. Sometimes they ask to help and we all do it together with fun. My choice, my kids...My mum had a problem with cleaning due to my father beating the crap out of her if he found a speck of dust, we in turn were brought up with floors so polished I was full of bruises and a childhood tainted by HAVING to clean...My house my rules..Jeez sometimes I feel im walking on egg shells with what you post here!!!

You've clearly met my daughter, MrsK :wah: That's exactly how she was and how she is now, and the same with my granddaughter

I have to agree with you Chez, I think Joe's post was a little unnecessary, and showed that he needs to get a sense of humour and lighten up!!

Lets set the frogs onto him (:-3 Joe is male right?)

Oh my gosh! :wah:

You seem to be having the same problem as me. I can't get mine to throw anything out either. We were just having that same talk about fifteen minutes ago. She still has rattels and theethers from when she was a baby.

She wants to save them for her 100 baby dolls.:-5

I have a big ginormous box in my livingroom, that her Jeep came in that she got for christmas. I told her she has a choice. She can put things in the box to get rid of, or i will. So far the box is almost empty. But i have made up my mind, wednesday when she goes back to school, Mommy is CLEANING HOUSE! She probablly won't miss a thing. She doesn't play with 20% of what she has. Usually she just drags things out, and leaves it where it lays.

It looks like Toys R Us EXPLODED at my house.



I wish you luck Pheasy!:)

I used to tell my daughter that if it leaks into the hallway...........it's TRASH!!!!!

My house is clean. It always is. Considering I cook every day and there is not one dirty dish in the sink I figure I'm doing alright.

It doesn't have anything to o with the gender. A slob is a slob.

:wah: Now I feel sorry for my mum with me and my sister.

i am still a messy bugger
