Yikes. I am so sorry you all had to go through that. <BR/><BR/>I didn't read through all of the previous comments so if this already came up, please feel free to ignore. In our house I consider the fact that my kids have their own rooms another privilege among many. While I do allow them a certain degree of privacy in their rooms, I do not consider their rooms "theirs" in the sense of full, entitled ownership. We pay for the house. We pay for the upkeep. We paid for the furniture that went in those rooms. And we are the ones who will continue to live here after they are gone. Their rooms are their temporary space given to them as a gift by their parents while living under our roof. Therefore, their rooms should be treated as a privilege and a gift. <BR/><BR/>Teenagers have so many issues with entitlement that I think the more we can demonstrate to them that almost all good things in life are EARNED the better off they will be.<BR/><BR/>I think earning a sheet first is a great (and hilarious) idea!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-90330356980678661682008-04-04T15:21:00.000-04:002008-04-04T15:21:00.000-04:00I need to catch up too -- I always do one list and...I need to catch up too -- I always do one list and then not the other, and forget keeping up with the people marked "private" -- need a special folder that sounds a daily siren or something.<BR/><BR/>The door/sheet thing is brilliant, and I'm tucking it away in the memory banks.
