Teen rooms are a headache for mothers everywhere. It’s not even like when they were younger. In those days, if their rooms were in a mess, you could shout at them and get them to clean it up, and, barring that, you could go in and do a good job yourself. But when it comes to teens and their rooms you’re dealing with a completely different kettle of fish.

True, you could go and ask them to clean up their rooms. And true, you could shout at them a bit too, if you wanted to, or you could go and clean up the room yourself. However, that’s when the trouble begins. Teen rooms are sacred places and not to be interfered with unless you’re invited to.

Let Heaven help the person who tries to tidy up the mess on the carpet. It was there for a good reason and you just had absolutely no right whatsoever to touch it. At least, that will be what most teens will say and, you being the patient, loving mother that you are, will just roll your eyes skywards and explain that the pizza and grubby, old shirt thing just don’t work well together and that you were just rescuing them from impending plague.

Your teens will in turn roll their eyes and protest loudly, not to exaggerate, it wasn’t about to grow legs and walk off on its own, and if it was then wouldn’t that make a great science project. So, you keep cleaning and they keep putting things back. And so ends the story, and you’re right back at square one.

Naturally, one way you could deal with this bomb site is to redecorate it. Teen rooms might be sanctities for them, but even they would love it if you gave their rooms a fantastic makeover.

That’s not to say that the room will be any cleaner once you’ve finished and they’ve moved back in, but at least you’ll get to see the inside of the room long enough to tide you over for the next few years. That is unless you’re thinking of redoing their rooms every year.

But now you come to your next problem. Since teens are notoriously different with regard to their rooms. You might discover that your teen rooms are done out quite differently from that which you had expected and that which you would have done first of all. This is where a comprise should be struck, if your teen wants black walls for his room, then say you want another colour too that will brighten up the black.

Be prepared to compromise a little on your ideas no matter how ridiculous their ideas are. After all, they’re only a teen for a while and later they will look back with horror on what bad taste they had.

As a parent it is your duty to give them these moments in their lives which they can look back on with due horror, and ban their kids from doing the same to their own teen rooms.
