How messy was your bedroom growing up?

[Spinneret]

Fairly for myself

There be things living in there.

My bed was always made up, and room mostly tidy. Although my closet was a total mess. Probably why my room was "clean".

My mom insisted on things being clean and tidy, so it was clean and tidy or else.

 

[mamamary]

I kept mine clean.

 

[georgina]

Very messy. And it still is.

 

[Meriweather]

Clean and neat.......and still is. I do not like messes or dirty things

My mom was a neat freak. Our house could literally pass a white glove test on any given day. So our bedrooms had to be clean and tidy.

You couldn't tell what color the carpet was because of all the clothes on the floor. And shoes. And record albums and cassettes and other things. My parents pretty much left us to our own devices regarding our room so long as the rest of the house was neat. My sister and I shared, and she was neat so when she finally got sick of living in my filth she moved into the old storage room, which was roughly the size of an elevator. I'm very neat now.

My mom shut my door and pretended my room didn't exist. I was a total slob growing up. There was a teachers strike one year after the Christmas break. One of my teachers held classes in the public library until she was threatened. My mom then offered the use of our house. During a conversation the teacher, who I loved, decided to ask my mom why my favorite excuse for not doing my homework was "I lost the book in my room!" My mom showed her my room and the teacher just told me to find it by the end of the school year.

Now I HATE things messy. We are doing work on the house and my grandson's tools and ladder are in the house and it is driving me crazy. By the end of the summer they should be out of here. To be fair he is in a smaller apartment with his wife and son and has NO storage there.

I went through phases. Sometimes I'd get on a neat freak kick, and my room could pass a white glove test. Other times I'd be obsessed with something else, or just really busy, and the clutter would pile up. I could never stand filth though, so I always took out the trash and dishes/glasses.

Neat, bed always made. Same now.
