You should have emptied the vacuum cleaner onto his bedroom floor, he wouldn't have noticed.

Yup Blackadder, I can empathise! Except for the beer cans as he's only 15 but my son's
room is unbelievablely messy. We did it all up for him a couple of years ago with new
bed, furniture etc so he had a desk to do his homework and places to put his stuff. I can't
even see his desk surface and he has some kind of creation in the making that involves
all my sellotape, polestyrene balls, copious amounts of glue, spray paint (which he did do
in the garden I'll admit) and thousands of teeny little bits he's cut off and strewn all over
the place! His guitars are out of their cases and his school books and papers are everywhere.
When I asked what on earth all the mess was about, he said, "I was looking for my science
homework"!
I told him if he didn't clear it up to at least a manageable state during half term he can have
the tiny room back and I'll make it into a craft studio!
He said it is a manageable state!
I suspect most of our glasses are in-amongst it somewhere too.

I know Blackadder, I am just grateful our youngest son is no trouble, particularly after all the
mares we've had with our eldest, I'm not sure I could go through it all again! He's a good kid,
has nice friends and is into doing nice, harmless stuff. He makes me laugh though when he
says he's organised - goodness knows what disorganised looks like!!
He's a bizarre child though - this morning it was pouring with rain and he put his school blazer
on - on top of his coat! His friend called for him and he had the same coat/blazer arrangement!
The mind boggles!

I remember when I first knew my Hubby - way back in 1980/81. He used to have a bedroom
right up at the top of the house where his mum seldom went up the two flights of stairs. One
day I collected 32 coathangers off his floor and took them downstairs - his mum was flabbergasted -
she thought they were getting a bit short of hangers!
I said to our son I don't think he'll ever beat his dad for coathangers on the floor (but I think he's
trying!).

our boys are in a room about 10ft x 6 ft, and a sweaty gene (not me, hubbies fault) triple bunk, small sofa, 40inch tv, ps2/3/4 xbox, and a gaming computer stuck in the corner, along with trundles under the bed for clothes, an attoman which they use for games storage, you couldnt swing a spider never mind a cat.
I briefly look in....... horror.......... the windows always open along with a fan going 24/7
oh and the bin.....more carp
my psych told me to not go in there, let them clean it
