I’m so sick of my teenage daughters who leave bathroom a complete mess – it’s disgusting
DEAR DEIDRE: I’M so fed up with my slovenly teenage daughters, who drop their underwear on the bathroom floor.
They leave the loo in a filthy state every day, despite my pleas for them to clean it. I now want to find a suitable punishment.
I’m a 45-year-old single mother. My daughters are 14 and 16. Even though I have brought them up to clean, tidy and have respect for our home, they live like pigs.
After they have been in the bathroom, there are clumps of hair everywhere, as well as toothpaste and leaking shampoo bottles.
Wet towels lie where they have dropped them, and sometimes there are even used sanitary towels. They never clean the toilet.
It is disgusting. All I want is a clean and well-kept bathroom. But if I ask them to clear up after themselves, they just scoff.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your daughters are old enough to clean up their own mess. They are being selfish.
Try talking to them again.
My support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, should help you to have this talk. But if they won’t listen, I suggest next time they leave mess all over the floor, instead of cleaning it yourself, scoop it up into a pile and put it on their beds. They should get the message.
My support pack Stressed With The Kids will also give you some advice.
