The big clean-up has begun...since my son moved out yesterday (see other post). He practically had an entire floor of our home with his own private bathroom and shower. We've never updated this bathroom, only cleaned it up and painted it. The shower stall is one of those plastic fit in ones. Well, apparently he lit a candle in his bathroom and placed it on the shower floor...it must've tipped over and burned a small hole in the bottom of the shower. After scraping candle wax off the shower floor I noticed a burn mark...oh no, that's not only a burn mark...it's a burn mark with a hole through the plastic. We're lucky he didn't burn our entire home down.
I wonder what he's going to say when I ask him about this? Wanna take bets he denies everything and admits to nothing??
We're redoing my stepson's bedroom this weekend (he's not here this weekend). The nastiness I've found in there really pisses me off. Jeez....one would think that he's not here enough to create this level of nastiness.....but I guess 13 year old boys can work magical, nasty wonders.
We intentionally took his bed off of the frame a couple of years ago so that he couldn't stash coke cans and dirty dishes underneath which would always spill and stain the carpet. You'd be amazed at the new places he's found to stash dirty dishes, etc now. Oh wait....you've been through 3 boys so it probably wouldn't shock you at all....lol.
I don;t have children of my own but I can retell my mothers story about my youngest brother.
He was still in high school and invited to play in a youth orchestra that was traveling to Europe. Off he goes and my mother decides it's a great time to really clean his room. The usual teen age boy mess, which she expected but the crowning touch was petrified cookie dough, he had apparently been cooking over a light bulb.
