[blparent] presents?

I am not a neat freak, but my daughter's messy room drives me crazy.  But
more than me, it makes dad angry and drives him crazy.

Oh no I have to put up with this for another um er 7-8 years??  And yes it
looks like his closet exploded!!  And he's responsible for his own laundry
which doesn't get done either until we make him so his room smells like
dirty socks!!  I've been thinking about helping him clean it one more time
then just letting it go from there, if it doesn't stay clean ... oh well I
don't have to sleep in there ... but I'm a neat freak and it drives me
crazy!!
