ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Sharing a room with a slobby sister

 
My younger sister and I have been sharing a room our whole lives, and she is a slob. She leaves food, drinks, clothes, paper and trash everywhere. Her closet floor overflows with her junk. I’m not a neat freak, but I can’t stand a messy room, so I’m usually the one who cleans the entire room because she is too lazy. Why should I have to live with my sister’s mess?

 

 

Dear Slobby Sister,

Your sister’s mess probably isn’t due to hostility or laziness. More likely, it’s absentmindedness and a reflection of different styles and standards. Neat people and slobby people really are wired differently.

 

What to do? Instead of nagging, which isn’t working anyway, break the pattern and praise your sister the next time she does even a little picking up. And, ask your parents if they would consider giving your sister an allowance only after she does some straightening.

Trust me,I share a room with one of the messiest sisters in the universe,but when she doesn't clean up after herself I usually confront her or my 'rents and she does clean up(eventually).Sometimes its really hard for them because they get distracted very easily,but sooner or later they will do it and grow out of the messy stage(hopefully).
Hope this helped)

Hey so I am 12, my crush is 11 and my friend is 12 and her crush is 11. I was thinking that my friends and I go out to maybe bowling or something ( we have a bowling alley 25 min away) and my mom would take us. I really want to know my crush first but then, I wouldn't know how to invite him and I wouldn't want it to be awkward. Can you pleasseeeees help?

Hey girl, strike up a conversation with your crush.  If you feel like it's going well, bring up the subject of bowling and then suggest that the both of you and some friends go sometime.  Have confidence in yourself, you can do it!  Oh, and try checking out these GL ice breakers.  Good luck!

I have something very unusual to ask you but here it goes.. I have a fear of sleep! It's a Moderate case but it used to be a servere case where i had panic attacks. I don't know what it is but i just think of sleep like being dead. Even though i really really really don't want to take therapy i think i might have to at this point. I just don't want to talk to someone about it. It's very personal to me and i think it's very weird i have it. Please help!


Hey girlie,

I so wish I could offer some great advice. Unfortunately since I’m not an expert on the matter, I don’t want to point you in the wrong direction. Try having a chat with the good old ‘rents. I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to help you get things squared away.     ♥, Your Blog Patrol Babes
